Is she checking out her future final resting spot?:barbecue:
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.
 
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.
 
Looks like you are getting it...

You can make shims from beer or pop cans too and try to get it as close as you can, it will be worth it in the long run.

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.
 
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!
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.
