.410 for deer hunting????????

Were I'm at is in the middle of pines so I cant get a shot more than 50 yards out. The blind I'm in is very small so i have trouble getting my 30-06 out the window. I was going to use a 12 gauge with a slug because the slug can go threw brush easier but its bulkier, weights more and I'm tight in space. My 410 will be easier to move with because its shorter and lighter. Does the 410 have enough power to go threw brush and down a deer with a slug? I am a good shot and can easily make a clean shot to the heart and drop the deer. So please don't say don't cause the deer will suffer
