Default And I am one of dem ol waterfouls fans Jack

Out today with snow gusts, hope some flight birds come down to augment the local greehaids and dem old tasty mergansers.

Canadas by Parker barrel lengths- darn fine idea- BUT just as we are feet and inches and yards and non=-metric down here- let's set a standard shall we- a 12 bore GHE with 30" barrels perhaps, as opposed to a DHE .410 with 26" tubes-

A dark and stormy night recalls Snoopy sitting on the roof of his doghouse at his typewriter- but most film noirs, cops and bad guys, etc- featured a lot of rain and nightmoves- ie: Seven, The Departed, Mystic River- etc.. so good choice.

I had a double on greeheads last Oct (2009) with my GHE 12, first and only in over 55 years of avid waterfowl hunting- an event to remember, pin non-withstanding.

Francis: I'm thinking 12 bore approx 48" overall. Those geese were flying under very low ceiling conditions or maybe it was some kind of fast food crop with a "fly through" lane.

Cheers,
Jack
