Nothing better for jump shooting than a SxS.
I wish I still had a lease in Dorchester for Sika deer . Buck is legal there 00 or larger . An EH with 00 or 000 would be nice to try there . I was hunting Chincoteague NWR a few years back for Sika and I had s new to me Pre 64 model 12 Field DeLuxe loaded with 00 Hevi Shot . Gun threw a great pattern , anyway I jumped a Sika hind about ten yards in front of . Being more used to 1100/870 safety placement and Model 12 being in the opposite place that deer was 40+ from me before I fired the gun and to the best of my knowledge didn’t cut a hair .
