Since I was still in the Army when I was in a "slug only" area (western MD), I would just grit my teeth and get through it. I often toyed with the idea of getting a 20 ga semi to cut back on the pounding, but I knew I would not have to worry about it for more than the 2-3 years Uncle Sam left me there.
I will say slugs are absolute deer killing machines. On population control hunts, it would literally knock a doe off her feet. I never noticed the recoil while hunting either.
