OK, I want to be sure I'm clear. I said I scheme for which gun to use for which season to help get me to sleep. I never said this strategy worked!

Hey, if ya gotta stay awake, ya might as well be productive.

BTW, I've just about settled on what guns to take to MN for grouse and woodcock: my Dickson 28 bore (it's gone with me for 31 years), and my Parker DH 16 (this will be its 2nd season with me in MN). Both have very similar stock configurations and fit me well, and both have the straight/splinter/two trigger features I like best. I may (fingers crossed) have my AH 16 back and ready to go also.

Now, as for the dove opener, I'm still sleepless about this decision.
