New Hampshire opening day found Bob Fabian (12ga VHE), Bill Janelle (12ga PHE) and myself (20ga Trojan) hunting stocked pheasants. By 7:30AM all three of us had limited.

Good shooting guys!

I'll be making my first foray of the season to the 'wilds' of Vermont this weekend for grouse and woodcock and the weather report calls for "nice weather for ducks"

Bill and Bob did some good shooting, fortunately for me birds were plentiful

Unfortunately Scott is sidelined for the next two months due to injury. Good luck in VT!

What has Scott gone and done to himself now, shoot himself in the foot?

That would be a more manly injury.

He tried skydiving off the stairs of his deck without a chute. Poor guy had the whole month of October off for hunting. I am sure he will be along shortly although he might have a hard time typing. Torn ligament and cartilage in right shoulder from what I understand.

Very nice!!! I was out today as well in NH... No pics - just some wonderful memories hunting over my dog.. Ran into a guy with a Parker 12 GA VH in hand.. Said "Nice Parker"... He looked at me and said "Thanks". I said - "A VH?".. He says - "I don't know - how can I tell"... I said "Doesn't matter - how does she shoot?".. He says - "It's what I shoot and have shot when I bought it about 20 years ago. It just fits me...". I said "That's what it's all about...".

We both walked on... I had a smile. He had a pheasant and his gun that shot well.

Yea - that's opening day....
