y'all school me on hunting with slugs.....

place nearby I've thought about trying to kill a deer, but they only allow bow, muzzleloader or shotgun with slugs. I don't really want to buy another gun right now, but my shotguns all have smooth barrels, I don't have a rifled slug barrel.

What is a realistic range of a 12ga slug out of a smooth barrel, and is there a specific type of slug I'd need to shoot?


There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:

1. All Politicians Are Liars
2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft
