Mainly it's the ballistic trajectory. With a shotgun, if you want to kill a deer, you will need either a slug, or buckshot. The slug (or combined weight of the buckshot) is heavier than a bullet from a rifle, and they move slightly slower, making their range more limited. Especially with buckshot. Also, there is no rifling on the barrel, so the projectile(s) from a shotgun are less stable. A rifle bullet goes faster and longer before becoming inaccurate.

What is a deer rifle?
Any centerfire rifle suitable for huning deer may be considered a deer rifle. In this context, deer usually refers to either muledeer or whitetail deer. In the US, different states place different limits on the size and type of rifle that may be used to hunt deer. Because of their long range, rifles may be prohibited in densely populated areas, and deer hunting restricted to shotguns (or even bow and arrow in urban areas). Where rifles are permitted, calibers from 24 to 30 caliber (6 mm to 7.62 mm) are generally considered appropriate, although larger or smaller classes of rifles are commonly used, where permitted. Since the US military adopted the 5.56 mm (.223) round, that cartrodge has become very popular and often used on deer even though many experts consider it to be marginal.
