I had a great trip to SC.No deer for me ,however.I was loaded with #3 buck shot in my 26" DHE 20 gauge.The dogs did not come my way.One doe killed on 2 drives. The quail shooting was better.I bloodied my CHE 28 gauge with 24" barrels on my second shot.I could not catch up to the bird on the first.It is 0418 and I am leaving at 0500 for a duck and goose hunt.I will report.

I might have missed it and am sorry if you must repeat it but how did your 28, 24"F/F do on Mr. Bob. If God came to me and said you may only hunt one species of bird for the rest of your life, it would, without any hesitation be Mr. Bob.
Merry Christmas wherever you are hunting today,
Daryl

The 28 did fine on the quail.It was the owner who had trouble putting it on them.I hunted ducks today with my grandson and while he did not kill one, he made good swings and the 28 gauge fit him well.We did kill some teal who were breaking the sound barrier. Life is good.

Is it safe to assume with your name and being from Avery Island LA that your family is of Tabasco fame ?

If so let me tell you I enjoy the majority of your families products !
