Boy, I'd leave the rifle at home if I had that 34 inch 10 gauge (and could use it on deer)...but you obviously know how to take those VA deer.
BTW, I still subscribe to VA Wildlife and read of the seriously diminishing numbers of deer hunters in the Old Dominion. Times change...and not always for the best. Enjoy your next day at the office.
