Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

Nice deer. I see you used a TCR. Enjoyed your posts and our discussions about TCR rifles and shotguns.

pdkfishing - Thanks. There are deer with a lot better racks in Iowa, but I did find from examination of the teeth that it was very old even though its head and body don't look like an old deer. The 23-inch 20-ga barrel is fully rifled and is a little more than 1.0-inch diameter its full length so balances well for offhand shooting. There is something wrong (dimensionally) with the monoblock as this barrel assembly will only shoot from this one receiver. It will not latch up enough with other receivers/close completely so the firing pin can drop. This receiver has a very plain stock on it but as my primary deer gun (during the slug only season) it probably tends to get banged around more than my other guns. - DON

WOW very nice and with a 20 gauge slug at that distance I now have a renewed respect for the 20 gauge...   :)
