I’ll be headed in October to Jackman, ME (10/5 - 10/7) and to upstate NY, Moira, on 10/20 and 10/21. I’d be interested in any thoughts or tips as I prepare for these two trips based on your experience as well as what loads you prefer early season. I’ll have my VHE 20 with me. I have two barrels; 30” (M/F) and a 28” set cut down from the original 30” that are more open (S/S, likely). The 30” are my go to for pheasant in CT and what I’ve used successfully for quail in GA along with a 28ga Webley and Scott. Interested in your views and thanks in advance. All the best to you this season.
