Opening Day Smoke

[Alex Dawes]

The old Parker EH 10 gauge was able to connect with a few doves during the Pennsylvania opener yesterday. It's the first time I have taken her out for doves since acquiring her from another member here. She was a blast to shoot with some 4 1/4 dram Olde Eynsford loads pushing a healthy dose of 8.5s!

I also enjoyed being upwind of my buddies with their autoloaders, although they may not have agreed :rotf:

Will you be toting one around this year?

Alex, I have a similar GH 10 that goes with me after Fall turkeys and waterfowl. It's a 32 inch gun made in 1902. A grade three hammer 10 (1883 also with 32 inch barrels) with more open chokes likes waterfowl, too. The 10 gauge is a nice companion on a hunt. I'll bet they swing well on dove.

That sounds like a great collection. I only have one 10 that has 32 inch barrels, a Remington 1889 choked XF/XF. All of the rest are 26, 28, and 30s so they are fun to hunt just about anything with!

Texas South Zone will open with an EH 10!

Looks like fun
