Shotgun Slugs for Whitetailed Deer Hunting? HELP

Who better to ask than the experts. I have a Browning semiauto 12 gauge shot gun that is over 30 years old. It does not have an adjustable choke. I am almost embarrassed to ask but...I having been hunting with a rifle for 25 years. Now, this year, I am going to hunt in a county that requires a shotgun. I want some advice on what slug I can use. Also, if there are any shooting tips you can give me on shooting with a slug, how far, aiming, any tips you think might be helpful would be appreciated. I am a decent shooter and a very serious hunter. Thanks a bunch!

I shoot WInchester Partition Gold sabot slugs out of my rifled barrell Remington 1100
I shoot regular winchester slugs from my Remington 1187 smooth bore slug barrell. I love both!

Hunting Tip: Hinge Cutting For Whitetail Habitat...

Hinge-cutting serves several purposes in regard to improving both whitetail habitat and your hunting experience.
