checked the field about one hour ago what a sight....about 20 young turkeys were feeding and was lots of doves feeding also only 2 weeks to go....hope the birds stay and the weather dont get to hot again...charlie

big rain storm last night not many doves on the field this evening...charlie

Plenty of doves here. Will shoot a .410 on opening day, with a couple of Underlifter 12s in the mix.

We have an invitation on September 1. Trying to decide which gun to take now.

Going Sept. 1 as well. Warming up at the club rhis evening. Have not popped a cap all summer. Twist barrel hammer .410 double, only been test fired with Kirk Merrington a couple weeks ago, (he relieved a tight chamber), and my Lindner Daly Diamond Grade 20 that I had restored last year, have yet to fire it!

Thinking maybe none of my guns are just right and I might need to get a new one:rolleyes:

Hafta to miss the traditional dove opener down at home this year. Going to stick pretty close to my place as I've got a lead on some early goose shooting around the Jack Miner Refuge. One of my life goals has always been to shoot one of this big wide bands with the Bible Verse on it. Tried for 17 years to get hooked up over there with somebody, maybe this is finally the time.

Mills, you have the right idea. You need a new gun. Yesterday, I went to our local skeet range and there were two guns in the clubhouse with "for sale" signs on them. One was a Savage Fox Model B, 16 gauge, 28" barrels, absolutely brand new, for $350. It was the cut checkered model, double triggers, vent rib, splinter forend, engraving on the floorplate. I got that beauty into my truck before I asked who I had to pay. I guess that is my latest acquisition.

So, Mills, what is the latest acquisition for you?

A GH 12 with 32 inch barrels. Nothing too special, but it is new

It hasn't arrived yet, but is on the way
