Hello. I plan to do a similar hunt in Main in Oct with a "new to me" 1925 Parker 20 gauge SxS. What shells would be recommended?

7 1/2 shot size will take care of both grouse and woodcock. RST has some great 20 gay grouse loads... I use them exclusively for my 20 ga Parkers.

I would use a 7.5 spreader for my right barrel and a 1oz 7.5 field load in my left barrel......(-: Make sure you use all the tic preventatives you can buy! Don't forget the dog either. SXS ohio I will use a 16 VH-16 1921 26" .007/.026 If the leaves are heavy I will use a spreader 7.5 and a 1oz field 7.5 or two of the spreaders? My back-up gun is my Parker repro 16ga. 28" Q1/Q2 same loads. I will also bring a repro 28Ga 26" Q1/Q2 for fun too...same type loads in 28ga. , spreader 7.5 and a winchester field load 1oz of 7.5 and some 3/4oz field loads too.

Kenny, I have a camp in Pittsburg and have hunted there since 1985. Just where are you camping? And Kenny, there are no Ticks in Pittsburg except Moose Ticks that will not bother anything except Moose.

Follow up question regarding shells: any advantage or disadvantage to paper shells?

Older Paper shells do not have a wad, this will loosen the choke a little and the pattern opens faster, lead fouling may happen so have a good bore brush...SXS ohio
