Default WV Quail

I suffer from Reynauds Syndrome, my hands get so cold and numb that I have trouble with triggers and safety in cold weather, was 18 degrees when I left the truck. Picked up this little Beretta BL3 20 this summer and actually struggled more trying to get used to a single trigger
I have shot double triggers since I was 29 and and now am just shy of 72. Still was able to collect a 3 bird limit, one over each dog
Willie was the last dog out.

Nice Harold. Reynauds sucks. Our daughter has it bad at a young age. But those BL3 are wonderful little guns. Congrats on a good day.

Thanks Andy, hope your daughter doesn't have any autoimmune syndromes like scleroderma, my older sister does.
My best friend is an older Beretta fan, shoots BL 4s

Thanks Harold. Yes. JRA since 3 years old. But she is 22 and doing well. Modern medicines have been a blessing.

Once upon a time back in the 70’s Beretta I think it was made an O/U that was technically a single trigger but had what “they called” a selective speed trigger . I would like to have tried one just to see how it was the Betetta BL-2/S .

Debated going quail hunting today as it was doe rifle season in WV. Waited until 11:00 to get started. I could tell there had been hunters early as there was a fresh skiff of snow. If I had seen a bunch of trucks/ deer hunters. I would have gone home. Parked the truck, and as I was powering up the Garmin, a covey of quail sauntered across the gravel road.
Put Doodle out by herself, but went the opposite direction of the covey, hey, I wanted to hunt, not just shoot. Got into birds in the autumn olive and missed my first 3 birds, but made good on the next 3 shots. Carried the old reliable VHE 20.
The day before, I hunted pheasant with Willie. Just imagine trying to get into that mess to flush the bird that came up about 20 yds In. I couldn't get a shot but my buddy dropped it.
