My plans were to take a 12ga. GHE Damascus 32" gun and the new to me 20ga. 30" VH. Thats not happening thanks to UPS. Two delays since Monday. Now sounds like it might make it by Monday but I have to wait 3 days from the time I sign for the gun. (Illinois wait period)
So, I guess I'll take the 32" GHE Damascus and a 28" M/F GH Damascus gun instead. I am sure the 20ga. will get some dove time before the first season is over but thats not what I wanted.
I am lucky to have a fair stash of RST 8's so I can feed both guns. The next problem is going to be what the storm in the Gulf does. Some models have it reaching middle TN, where I'll be for the 1st, by that time and be dropping heavy rain through Tuesday and Wednesday so the opening day shoot could be called off or really diminished.
Time will tell. Hope everyone has a great opening day. Shoot well and enjoy your guns and dogs.
