Default New Day. New Gun.

Took the 12g GH out today for the first time. Gun made some dandy shots on farther crossing birds. Shoots really nice. Also had Jo and Mick on birds. Today was the first time I had mom and son hunting together. That was a treat! Solid points and retrieved to hand. It was a good day indeed!

What!?! No snow??! (Your dogs are gorgeous…and the gun ain’t bad either.)

Garry, our snow and the 2” of ice underneath it disappeared last week with temps in the 50s. It was high 20s today and tomorrow we’re supposed to get another snowstorm.

Dean, I’ll have to measure them. I’ll get them checked tomorrow AM but my guess is F/F.

R. .031 (F) L .033 (F). One could argue LF but I’m not going to split hairs here.

Those are great chokes Mike. My 30” Titanic DH 12 has .033” and .032” constriction and does everything I need it to do, including 40 yard head shots on more than a few longbeards.
