That was a great hunt, Dean, made all the more sweet since the guy who invited me after he and his dog found a flight cover told me in part jest, part ridicule, "There all over the bottom, even more this morning than when I checked yesterday! Meet me at the parking spot and, oh yeah, don't bring that popgun of yours - too much choke and not enough shot. Use a man's gun for a change!" I felt so good about it later I bought him lunch. He said the salad dressing was quite sour.
BTW - I brought out my beautiful little Bob Runge engraved & signed Remington 11-48 F Grade .410 (no gold, thank you) on the 4th of July weekend, like I do every year, both to honor the man and to celebrate the spirit of the All American Gun. Shot a round of sporting clays in the morning with it wearing the full choke barrel, then later in the day shot a couple of rounds of skeet after changing to the skeet-choked barrel. Reminded me of how deadly boring skeet is but how exciting it can be with a .410 (you tend to use a lot of bad words). Also how deadly the little guns can be on close targets in the woods, especially those wascally wabbits!
