There's a nasty scar on one side from the day I learned that climbing 30 feet up a quarry wall to recover a feral pigeon wasn't worth it.

Quarry pigeon control is fun. I've done a bit of that at our local quarry before. They do make a mess of the equipment.
I've got a new 870 express that I just bought about a month ago. Bought it as a loaner gun for the nephews. My 17 y.o. nephew has yet to kill a deer but he's certainly adding to the character and wear marks to this gun. He's not quite figured out how to range and swing on running deer and has missed a couple. He came out from doing a man-drive last weekend and told me he was sorry he had put a couple scratches on the new gun from the briars. I kinda chuckled and told him "thanks for the wear marks." He was confused until I explained the difference between guns that get used and those that get photographed.
That gun will develop soul, but it will take time.
