We went Friday 1-29 in a twenty mph north wind and well below freezing chill factor. Dogs had a tough time running. I took the first double I ever had, a Davidson import from Spain. I never could kill anything with it, especially doves. It was a 20 and supposed to be IC & Mod. Well the reason was for a kid who was slow on the trigger cylinder and light mod meant the game was out of range most of the time. But once I found out the chokes fifty-five years later, it is ideal for rabbits, so I take it once or more a year now. It was my prized possession at Christmas 1966, so I still cherish it even though it is not worth much. Also a picture of Patrick, my cousin's grandson with the Parker I gave him. I convinced him he did not need an 12 ga 3.5" auto to kill game, and the IC choke made him a much better shot. We only got three, one apiece, in five and a half hours of continuous walking while freezing. Isn't hunting fun?
