20 Guage Slug For Deer Hunting
Hey guys, I have 80 acres in the Florida panhandle, it is hog and deer paradise. Deer season is closed here in TN but open FL I am making a trip down tomorrow morning, to get a couple deer and go squirrel hunting. Now the brush is very thick like ya can't see more than 20 yards in front of ya, but the place I'm set up I can see 40 yards from my ladder stand. would a 20 gauge 2 3/4 slug work for these deer biggest are 150# usually 125#, the gun is a single shot 20 gauge all I have in the shotgun department, it is a mod. choke will it suffice, my .243 is out of whack I dropped it and do not have time to sight in once I get there. Tips and advice please.

Where Should I aim, because I want to kill it quickly the brush in Florida is very nasty i.e hogs and brush. Would a heart shot suffice to kill it quickly?
