" A Remington 1100 loaded with 3 fresh 2 oz slugs"

  Hi Paul..... I really think  I'd prefer some buckshot to a deer slug.
I'm not a great shot, and anyway shotguns are designed to be "pointed"
rather than aimed like a rifle. In 12ga. , there are nine OO-buckshot, 
each one .36 caliber. Much better chance of a kill.  Even #1 buckshot
is .30 cal. ,don't remember how many in each shell, but more than OO
shells. These will lose velocity faster than a slug, and since you're
shooting downward they should be safer to use. Good luck....
                                                
 P.S.  I think those slugs are only about 1oz. or so 
                      Have a good day...Jim LeClere
