I know this is off topic but I'm a big believer in letting any beginner shotgun hunter learn to hunt with a single shot shotgun. That is how I was started on shotgunning and it will make you make that first shot count. I guess you could just let them load one shell to achieve the same result though.
I've found many similar beds like that white tail hunting here in Delaware, one year decided to walk in the woods behind our camp on public land and jumped a doe and a yearling from something very very similar about 30 yards from the tent!
If its machine washable use clothes detergent, the largest load size, and the hottest water it can take, and the longest wash time. I'd let them soak for a good while. If not machine washable soak in a large tub using the same criteria. That chemical can stay active for a long long time.

It's funny how the EV fan boys make their passive aggressive comments to imply how smart they are and how stupid anyone who questions this tech is. Hmmm

The wind is very likey going to howl but you know that. I'd have breathable windproof outer wear like a coat/parka and bibs myself and multiple sets of merino underwear and wool socks. Wool sweater and/or a shirt too. I love wool!
Had this happen on a hunt with two of my brothers-in-law. One, call him B, was an experienced hunter, the other, call him C, not so much. C was a super macho guy, you couldn't tell him anything, he knew it all already. There we are, it was just starting to get light but not quite shooting light...
I've had nothing but problems from the USelessPS. Numerous packages just sit in limbo especially once they get to the local distribution center which is about 6 miles from my house. Currently waiting on two packages coming from the left coast to me here on the right coast, should've had them...
That is the nature of late stage cancers, folks seem to make dramatic improvement and then their condition rapidly degrades. Watched my father and two older brothers die of cancer and that is just what happened, I'm not a doctor but I think the body puts up one last intense fight and then...
