BHE on doves this morning
 

We had a pretty good opening day. I watched my friend shoot at a few, and decided to ditch the .410, and went with a 32" BHE, which happens to be choked IC/Full. We shot only Eurasians, and let the Mourning and White Wing doves fly through unmolested.
I had a particularly good day, and went 11 straight before calling it a day.
Here's a quick pic of the B:

What the heck, here's one more of the B

looks like the b done real good...I wish we had the euraisan doves....charlie

I try to only shoot the Eurasians, as they are an invasive specie, but accidentally shot one mourning dove.
The Eurasians taste the same, and are bigger. Kind of a win/win.

Before I read your post I was thinking the birds looked somewhat bigger than Morning dove we see in the Old Dominion .

Incidentaly is your BHE a 20 ?

No, it's a 12.
Interesting history with this gun, it was purchased by a Mr. CD Smith, a sportsman from Albany Georgia in 1905 for $200.00, plus $25.00 for ejectors.
Was sent back to Parker to be restored in 1909. Dents removed, clean, rebrown, recheck, retighten the action, and clean up repair the action and ejectors.
Price of restoration: $13.50
Inflation index?

Parker Bros. evidently had someone who knew how to do checkering.

That's a heck of a gun, and some darned nice shooting, too!:bowdown:

Eleven straight is a pipe dream for me. Great shooting! Nice BHE.

Nice gun Todd. I like that one a lot.
