Shoot them center mass with a 9mm premium bullet - dead
I'm a 9mm fan and that statement is incorrect on many levels. One, most folks survive GSWs and (2) you should always plan for failure. Dadgum, I've seen 110 lb. whitetail does take a .30-06 to the chest and run off. You really think a 200 lb. guy is less tough? On another note, center mass on most folks will give you a gut shot. If I have a chance, I'm aiming at the upper chest.
Stay away from the 3 inch loads - the 2 3/4 will work better as the muzzle velocity is higher and the recoil not as bad. And for Gosh's sakes, start out with cheap birdshot loads until you get comfortable with the shotgun.
