Our opener here in Florida was yesterday Sat. Sept.23rd..What a day it was flock after flock pouring in to the fields.Started out shooting a VH 12ga until the lever locked open in full right position.Barrels and gun would close but lever won't go to center.Had to with over to a Browning 410ga lighting that I got recently.It wasn't all bad as the 410 was great handling and easily knocking whitewings down one after another.

We got an invitation at the last minute and it was a good one. I got 8 but a good number of the group got limits. I shot a VH 28 which did well when I did my part

First bird of the 23-24 season. DHE repro 26" M/IC. Ended up with 11, but should have shot better.

David, Thanks for sharing your first shot with that great gun. Good luck with the rest of your season.

Got out for the first time here in West Texas last nite . I lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes in 107 degree temp. Birds are good. Managed to get seven. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning.

Yikes! 107…the birds would be cooked before you get home.

Got a couple of hours of hunting in this AM before it got too hot. Even made a new friend who stayed with me for about 15 minutes.
