GOB,
I have never personally taken a deer in excess of 80 yards with a "rifled" slug, but I know people who consistently do so at ranges up to an slightly over 100 yards. The limiting factor is the gun's inherent accuracy with these loads. I have a friend who has shot several nice bucks over 100 yards with an Ithaca Deerslayer and rifled slugs - with open sights. He feels confident with his equipment, and it works for him. Stay within the constraints of your ability, and the ability of your equipment, and you'll be fine.
