There is also a bit of a moral dilemma at work here as well. Quail use numbers during a covey rise to confuse the predators and it clearly works. To show up with an unplugged autoloader and just start blazing away sounds fun at first blush, but it clearly ignores a number of principles that fair-chase hunters normally adhere to. And...considering the piles of shells we had to clamber over, the "trash-o-matic" feature is commonly employed there, even though they do request that you pick up your shells (which most of us attempted to do).
This is a unique situation in my experience. Like all gun guys, having one more gun option is always attractive, but justifying it here is a bit problematic for me. Since these are pen-raised bids, my sense of outrage over it all is quite muted but... not totally gone.
Taking a tumble on a lava slope Unconcerned about what happened to the Benelli, was pleasing in a weird sort of way.
Kinda like high siding some shyte Yamaha.

Watch it, smartass. The only bike I ever high sided on was a Suzuki 600 GSXF, a school bike (all a putz like you needs to know is the lights are taped, the back brake is disconnected, and it doesn’t have a license plate on it) at a track day in Monterey, CA. Was done riding (that day, anyway) but, did get the pleasure of telling a motorcycle CHP, and a group of kids around the smashed bike on a trailer at Dairy King, that, no, I didn't die in the crash, no, alcohol wasn’t involved, and, yes, the banana split was my lunch.
Rode the next day. You weren’t there. Figures.
Best, Ted

Lloyd, you don’t need to stuff the mag. Just sayin’.
My favorite bird hunting YouTuber uses a trashomatic (formerly known as “Jammomatics” before the Benelli )and I hate it. He has to be dumping 200 to 300 empty hulls on the landscape in wild places per season. Sad.
I can make the argument that as long as we pick up a bunch more hulls than we ever shoot per season, we are slowly improving the wild places. But if a person is running a couple of cartons of shells in season, and not throwing away garbage bags full of hulls, they are a pig.
I pick up 4 to 500 beer cans per season! And untold number of hulls.
I think Karl would vouch for my keen eye for a blue and silver can.
