Dove and my 20 gauge GH in the morning.
 

Looking forward to sneaking out at 0 dark 30 without waking up the wife, and to the whistle of wings and the smell of the 2 1/2 paper shells. Things are set aside in the garage. Not even sure where I will go yet, but I have a few places that usually pay off. I am taking a few back up guns I want to try out, but the 20 gauge GH with twist barrels I hope will bring me luck. I have yet to get a Doubles pin, due to the fact when I shot doubles I was not using a Parker. That I hope will change this year. Best of luck to those going out in the morning, and be safe.
Good shooting Phil

Good luck on the doubles pin, I think that would be quite an achievement on Doves. A GHE damascuss 20 will be in the Grouse coverts this fall. I have never had a double on them.

Not many Grouse in AZ good luck with the Grouse and your 20. AZ has only a few places to hunt Grouse. I was lucky and took a double ( Both in the air) thanks to my pointer on the 2 and 3rd grouse I ever shot. After it was all over I could have kicked myself. My 20 gauge Parker was also in the truck. Once again I missed a pin. I took 3 and my brother took 1 out of a large group of about 10 birds.

I might be able to get a double monday if they're flying well !

I have decided now to take my Fox A grade 16 and a Parker GH 16 damascus .

Was planning on taking a pair of Superposed 20 gauges but I didn't feel like loading shells and already had some 16's on the shelf for the Parker and a few old boxes of plastic factory loads for use in the Fox !

well its the morning for some foks and another wake up for some of us and even till sept. 8 for some folks.. i hope you boys gun barrels are getting hot right now and not from the sun... i m waiting on some good stories and some pictures.... charlie

I am sitting here with 9 just can not seem to buy another bird.no chance for a double now, the limit is 10.

Had to settle for the 9. Here are a few pictures of my set up with some decoys around a tank, and my MOJO dove in front of me. Picture of guns and birds pretty bad. LC Smith 20 2E, Parker GH 20, and a Skeet Special 12 by LC Smith choked Skeet and Light Full.
