It does not let me watch.
My son just texted that he got a meat deer a little while ago—hit by a car, dispatched by police—from the end of our private road. Hopefully it isn’t busted up too bad.Is she checking out her future final resting spot?
I watched a car in front of me hit a doe in the head " killed " and stopped, asked the driver if I could have it ?
Got the paperwork from cop and to the freezer
.
If it was significant impact, the tenderloins and opposite side will still be good and don't forget about the fish...... what we call the underside rear of tenderloin
.
Something I'd like to mention :
A deer that meets their demise by vehicle and doesn't bleed out.
Quarter up the deer and drop into a Rubbermaid " clean " trashcan with a salt brine for 3 days with ice.
Draws out the blood and removes gamey taste.

I'm moving the whole bunk. I loosened one bunk that wasn't level. There's plenty slop in the bolt holes to level it, then tighten the bolts again. I'm only gonna have one bunk loose at a time, so it doesn't throw everything else off. The tracks are already level. I didn't have help to do the transit. I'll get it close this way, and then do it with the transit.

I was wrong, it’s a big transverse muffler, two pipes in and two out

What’s the consensus of this crowd towards inertia driven semi automatic shotguns like the Benelli as opposed to the gas operated ones?
Always felt this is a knowledgeable group of guys to bounce things off of

I'm a Beretta guy so I know the downfalls of gas operated guns. I shot an A303 for trap and sporting clays for years and never had a problem. I kept it clean though. When shooting an inertia gun vs. a gas gun the gas gun will recoil a little softer.
All that being said I don’t think you can beat the reliability of a good inertia gun. For a gun mostly used for hunting I'd pick a Benelli, for mostly targets I'd pick a Beretta.

I have a semi automatic gas Beretta in 20ga
Have played with Remington 1100’s a ton growing up. But the Benelli Inertia system really has me looking
My best buddy since third grade is big into goose and duck hunting. Thinking a 3 1/2 12ga shotgun is on my radar. It’s a bit of an improvement over the 3in mag….
Be a Man ... Pump action ... Lighter gun, more reliable, just as fast!
I'm not sure if they are as inefficient as I thought they were, but those were the first things I used to rip out of my Mustangs (if they had them). Of course, I also always liked to add headers!

YeeHaaaw! there is the answer! Personally I like a Winchester 1200, because that is what I bought as a kid. But 870s are tough to beat, and Mossy 500s are good too. Any of them will eat anything and outlast the rich man(kid)'s gun. If ya can't soot a pump just as fast, you don't know how to shoot. Besides, if you aren't one shot, one kill, ya don't know how to shoot! I've shot more game with a single shot, break action, than with everything else put together.
I don't like them... or pumps! SxS or O/U for me...
My primary hunting use is for upland birds in heavy cover over pointers... and I primarily shot hand thrown clays for practice with those guns due to the myriad target presentations we could throw. Which brings me to the question: To what purpose are you going to apply the gun? Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays, waterfowl, pheasant, quail, woodcock, ruffed grouse, whitetails, self defense? If many or most of those, at random, gas is probably better. This as I recall several guys I hunted with who never seemed to have the buffer configured right in their Browning A5s! But alas... Almost every one I associate with these days totes O/U guns for targets and upland birds.
For upland birds I seldom shoot more than 1 shot... it's either dead or the cover is in the way for a second shot! SxS or O/U all the way for me!
Regarding pumps. I used to haunt Numrich Arms A LOT when they had the retail store. This as it was located between my home and club. I knew the guys there very well... They reported that, by far, ejectors for Mossberg 500s were the highest volume part they sold. The screw to secure them to the receiver was very popular too. A common repair was to drill out and re-tap the receiver hole to a larger size. The primary issue was the screw wasn't tightened sufficiently enough and the ejector and or screw would be damaged. Ejection was iffy... I just got my father's 500 and I recall it was iffy so now I've got to look at and see if the screw is tight and if there is any damage!
