Shot my Ithaca M37 28 ga. with 3/4 oz of 7.5s. Shot the first 5 birds with 5 shots and knew then I was doomed. Which I was. The balance of the limit was a few more shots per bird. Gil Gil, that is a little like my hunt with my 12 gauge Beretta 626. I hit the first 3 shots and 4 of the first 5, but went downhill from there. Finally got my 15 and will blame the poor shooting on the hot weather that really tired me out. I converted the gun from single trigger to DT in the off-season and it surely was enjoyable to be able to instantly select the choke that I wanted.

We shot a different sunflower field this afternoon, and there was a fair amount of birds. I was put on the best stand in the field and limited out quickly. Used my old faithful Beretta 687 SP II Sporting 20 ga., with 7/8 oz. loads of 8s. I must say the little Flock A Flickers work as good or better than a full size rotating wing dove decoy, and less hassle.
I guess I need to work for a few days now, so my son and grandson won't fire me.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Shot the mowed grain field on Sunday afternoon alone. Birds were present but hardly abundant. Shot the chances that came rather well, missed two with both barrels during the flight and picked up the remaining 15 without a hitch. Shot a different waterhole with Nic yesterday afternoon and had a great outing. Plentiful birds, and lots of opportunities for me to down numerous birds in the water. Gave the Keen little Cocker a full afternoon of water retrieves to break the heat. Two limits in short order.....Shooting the 20 Bore Browning so well I can't bring myself to drag something else out of the safe.

Nice hatch of ducks in central ND. Water levels dropped quickly, so now almost anything with standing water is loaded with birds, according to a buddy.

Shooting the 20 Bore Browning so well I can't bring myself to drag something else out of the safe. I know what you mean. I'm like that with the 30" barreled 20 ga. SP II. Went with me to Argentina twice, and is my favorite O/U bird gun. But .......... I hate not using all my other bird guns. Truth is, I don't know if I keep them all so I can use them or if I try to use them all so that I can justify keeping them. SRH

Browning Superposed 20 bores are special guns. Perfect really. Taking mine to Michigan next month in search of the Ruffed Grouse.
