The killer VH 12ga mod and full 26in.. Gh 12ga cyl and full 30in Damascus. Gh 12ga full and full 30in Parker Spec Steel if it arrives on time. I sure hope we don't have another hurricane come through next week and drive the birds out like it did last year. Going to a new place that looks very good with sunflowers and corn. Must be 250 acres.Lots of birds.Hope there are enough shooters to keep the birds flying. I can't wait. At what age does this quit making a fellow excited? Hope everyone has a great season. Gerald

PS Just ate my last 12 Sunday from last year. I cooked them on the grill with some streak o lean.Best streak o lean I ever ate.

I would love to do a hunt with that C 20 hammer! At least I got to handle it a couple of times in Vegas.

I believe that a 30" dhe 16 with a vent rib will get the first hunt this year over a friends seed corn field. This 16 will get the second hunt.

Hope to be able to hunt all weekend. Since right barrel on my VH20 ruptured last weekend (see WTB section), PHE16, VHE12 and GH10 will be in the truck. Hoping the birds show up.

I have now changed my mind a couple of dozen times!!

I have decided to start out with the Darne Halifax sliding breach 16 I bought a couple of months ago. I have been harassing the grackles with it of late, and need a legit hunting outing with that gun....for the second half of the limit, or an extended limit of Eurasian Doves, I am taking the 1 frame restored VH 16 I got a few months ago. I have never even shot that gun!
