I have a nice/good slug gun, but the slugs are too expensive and kick too much for shooting deer.
What else would you use a slug gun for besides shooting deer? I've got a designated slug gun and I don't notice it kicking any harder than anything else.
I've never understood the thought behind not allowing a centerfire but allowing muzzleloaders and slug guns. Most hunters I know in Indiana hunt out of treestands which means they are shooting towards the ground. In cases like that a centerfire is no more dangerous than a muzzleloader or a slug gun. If they restrict it to "straight wall cartridges, I'd use a 450 Marlin.
I'd only use a slug gun, for anything, if it's mandated. If you can't tell the recoil difference between a 12ga slug and many more than adequate deer cartridges (260, 30-06, 30-30, etc) you are much less sensitive to recoil than I.
From what I've heard it's passed the vote, but can't/won't be implemented until 2015. So if you have a slugger to sell, sell it soon!
