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!

Hunting Tip: Be Unpredictable

Deer hunters spend so much time trying to pattern deer that we forget that we also can be "patterned." After all, most of us hunt the same days and the same hours, so it isn't difficult for deer to figure us out. While we would never recommend giving up hunting the traditional moving times for deer -- early morning and late evening -- it's important to keep in mind that deer will move at other times of the day.
