I guess as with many things in life, there is always the question of.... Ya, you can do it that way, but why would you if there are much better ways of getting it done......
IMHO for whitetail deer in my home state, anything less than a 6mm/.243 cal is not taking enough gun..... 6mm-30cal is what you need.
In the case of quail with a shotgun, it's a bit different, because using a .410 usually means you either kill the bird stone dead, or completely miss..... Shotgunning the margin of error is "Missing vs hitting", with big game rifes it's "Wounding vs Killing".
