Glad my post was good for some humor today. The good old guys where I have been going deer hunting on opening day for the past 10+ years had a pretty good laugh this year at my expense and they recalled the story from 10+ years ago when I busted my head open back then. So, we now have plenty of stories about me to laugh about. However, I am usually the one with the pile of deer. The only question is whether I am bleeding worse than the deer once everything is said and done.

If I am not mistaken, a 12 ga. slug puts out a lot more recoil than a .300 Win Mag. A 3 1/2" 12 ga. steel waterfowl load puts out more recoil than a .300 Win Mag and strap the shotgun in if you are shooting a 3 1/2" 2 1/4 oz. lead turkey load out of a 12 ga. The first time I pulled the trigger on that turkey load while sighting in, I almost quick turkey hunting before I started.
