Default The perfect slug gun for deer?

I started my hunting with a bow. After several deer over several years I expanded to ML as well. For 2012 I decided to build a perfect slug gun for the New England woods.

I settled on a savage 220, scoped, shooting Remmington Accutip 2 3/4" slugs. The gun shoots silly groups to 100 yards.

I shot three deer this season. Each broadside. I failed to pass through any of the deer. I killed them quickly, but the lack of penetration has me thinking I may have an experience that makes me regret this combination and it's lack of pass through power.

Three shots and three dead deer. Should I be satisfied?
