As turkey seasons begin to wind down across the country, we always love to take a quick gander at gungenius.com (powered by Gun Broker), to see what the top-selling shotguns were toward seasons' end. Clearly, the correlation between these numbers and the season at hand is far from causal. There are far more shotgun purchasers than there are turkey hunters, and even for those who fall into both camps, the purchase could have been entirely unrelated to mid-season gear tweaks. Not to mention, quite a few of the guns below are wholly unsuited to the pursuit. Nonetheless, it can be fun to speculate. Here are the top shotguns sold in the United States in the month of May, broken down by category. A few of these have even been recent features of our SundayGunday video series (and at least one is upcoming). See how many you can pick out from the list below.

Henry Repeating Arms Introduces the Founding Fathers Collection

Rethinking Ragù: Venison Ragù Bianco

In Italy, ragù simply refers to a slow-cooked meat sauce. Bolognese—ragù alla Bolognese—is just one regional variation that originated in Bologna and traditionally incorporates tomatoes, wine, milk, and finely minced meat simmered low and slow until deeply rich and complex. But some of the most beautiful ragù dishes in Italy contain little or no tomato at all. This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
