OK buddy, if you realy want a great treat, slice it about 1/4" to 3/8" thin and cook it on a hot grill, propane or charcoal, either is OK. Do not marinate but you can use garlic and pepper before cooking if you want (I suggest it) salt to taste AFTER cooking, You can rub in fresh crushed or minced garlic (my favorite) or sprinkle on some processed garlic powder before cooking. It only takes about a minute or so on each side on high heat (try to cook each side just once, almost but not quite halfway through, about 1/3 through). You can cook it either on the grill or in the hot buttered frying pan but I prefer the outdoor grill if possible. Fried potatos, mushrooms, onions, and a nice salad go great with it also.
80 yards with a Tracker I, great shot and you did it without spending $18-$20 a box for sabots. These smoothbores are sure nice. What slug did you use? Where was the hit and how did the slug perform, Did you recover the slug? Did the deer go right down or did you track a while? So many questions and so happy for you. When you get a chance let us know....<><....
