Christmas Doves
Man is it cold but my favorite hunt is the third dove season which comes in Christmas week. Got there late yesterday morning and had trouble with the VHE only letting me shoot one time, so I only got seven. Went back this morning before daybreak and betrayed the Parker that had let me down taking the A5 Light 12 as my first choice. Either not enough choke or maybe I could not hit, so I switched less than halfway through my limit to an early A Fox. This was a rescue gun, kind of like rescue dogs people get addicted to helping. It had a B grade stock, fifteen pounds of pull on the front trigger, and a slick forend with checkering almost gone. A little work farmed out and she is ready for the next 105 years; and I shot this mongrel as well as anything I own with its .020 and .040 chokes. Worked very well on doves.
