I'm not sure of the 20 deer at a time thing.  They don't fire any faster than any other rifle.  Here in Ohio you are not allowed to use a rifle, but I believe that has more to do with the flatness of the land.

Having been an Ohioan into my early 30s, I had always been used to deer hunting with .12 ga. slugs.  It takes some skill and focus to take a deer, as you have to get much closer than if you're hunting with a rifle.  I was always jealous of the neighboring States like PA and WV, as their hunters use rifles.  So, as a resident of NC, I live in a rifle hunting State.  I was so excited to do my first hunting with a rifle, but the moment was short lived.  I had my deer in about 45 minutes.  In my mind, it was too easy, felt like "cheating'.

Now, if I'm heading to the Mountains to hunt, definitely need a rifle as the game just doesn't get that close.
