Accuracy of slugs from smooth bores varies greatly and is very dependent on the ammo. Try several brands of rifled slugs and use an "open cylider" choke tube. Figure out what shoots best for you. At best though you will be limited to shooting 100 yards or less. That's a big chunk of lead you're tossing out there!

Buddy of mine hunted deer in western NY for many years with an O/U and had great success.
