Clean barrel between dead turkeys?

It will be a cold day in h#ll before I find it necessary to clean my "shotgun" barrel in between shots, regardless of what the over excessive gun nuts might say. I am fortunate enough to be able to hunt every day of the season. My shotgun, along with my vest,(minus calls) stays in my truck, fully loaded, barrel down, leaned between the center console and my passenger seat, for the entire Spring Turkey Season, whether I'm in the woods or not. If it gets bad wet, I dry it and might wipe it down with an oil rag. After season, it gets bore snaked, action blown out with air chuck, wiped down, and put back in house. I switch out between my old school 835 ulti mag and my 870 wingmaster magnum throughout the season.

Thank you. I was starting to think I was the only lazy azz on here. If I hunt in the pouring rain where I know that I've had water in the barrel, I will clean and oil. Otherwise, it isn't touched until the end of the season. I worry more about a drt bird than holes in paper, I guess. So far, my average is pretty good.
