Glad you brought this up Charlie. Reminds me that it's just around the corner. Think I will also take a VH 20, 26" with mod/mod chokes. PH 12 as back up. It also is 26" and choked skeet/ IC. Hope it cools off a little here in TN before 9/1.

Well it will probably be cool here in New Hampshire, but unfortunately for us we do not have a dove season Or anywhere in New England that I know of.

Begining to see doves sitting on the phone wires,they are heading south.They are song birds here in Michigan,but when they cross the border to Ohio they change into gamebirds.

It will be heat stroke weather here in the deep Alabama south. It was last year. I will use either a DH 16 or a CH 12. High fliers so tight chokes.

I'm thinking my little Parker VHE 20 gauge 28" M&F (the one in the picture to the left of this post) and a little Sterlingworth 20 gauge 28" also M&F .

I will take out my 32" VH 20 in case the Whitewings are flying high. Along with my DH 28 for the morning dove.
