Shotguns are dangerous. Rifles are dangerous at a longer distance. Contact my buddy, Randy, at Tar-Hunt.com and he will give you the skinny on slugs and slug guns. He got me started hunting with them. I use my pump in Maine with great success. It's an area where you are lucky to see 100 feet ahead of you. Just right for slugs. We generally get our deer inside of 25 yards. In Pa. around my cabin, the longest shot I ever taken on a deer was less than 75 yards. I still love my rifles for varmints, elk, moose and caribou.

Good hunting!
