Anyone can hold a gun and kill a helpless animal, this is not a sport.

You would do well with any slug or a 00 buck round. as far as strategy, I would strongly recomend getting in touch with some locals that know the habits and open areas in your location. If you don’t know anywhen, then look in the phone book for a gun club or just go down to a gun store and start asking a lot of questions. If this is your first time I would also consider going with someone who can show you the proper way to gut the deer out.
Good luck

You should take your gun to the nearest gun store and turn it in.
Or, better yet, take it to a forge and have it melted down.
Then go to a nature preserve with a state-of-the-art camera and shoot all the deer your newly awakened heart desires.
Happiness is NOT a warm gun.

remington 870 excellent weapon for 50 yards or less i recomend high brass 3 inch federal, howevever check the guns chambering recomendations. as far as stratagies go , well it all depends on your terrain, i hate to give you bad advice, so the best i can offer is be patient, be quiet, be scent free, and good luck

I used to live in So.Illinois ,big deer farm land and I’ve found that the best slugs for me are the Sabot slugs,available at most box type stores, I shoot allot of different guns for deer season but my main stay is a 1964 rem. 12 guage, and I’ve found that at least in my gun these have the best stopping power and best accuracy for me

Personally I think a 2 3/4″ remington slugger works just fine ( I have an 870 and thats what I use) The 3″ dont give that much more performance for the recoil. They are perfect for the 50yrd range if you have a smooth barrel. If youve got a rifled barrel get some good sabot slugs and if you practice 100yrds isnt out of the question by any means.
