Default Dove opener in Maryland

Nasty storm Ida blew through on Weds so it was a no go but Thurs was a typical post front day. High of 72* and windy with no humidity. Perfect weather for the dogs and me and sure made for some doves carrying the mail as they say. I started the day with my VHE 20 which has been my go to dove gun since 1970. Pushing 3/4oz/ 1150fps of 7 1/2's. I shot my first half limit with the old girl then switched off to another favorite a 20 Fox SW with 30" tubes. Funny thing is the VHE has only 26" barrels and is choked .019 and .023 and I really prefer her to a longer barreled gun because she is so nimble on those twisting, darting birds.
