Northern Illinois opener was a total bust! Didn't fire a shot on the club's lease. Next day stunk as badly. Birds are around but not in concentrated numbers. Our fields have not been harvested yet so things may improve after that is done. I may be in the hospital then for some surgery. Wonder what the rest of the state had for the opener. Brought my 16 ga. Nitro Special but it was too heavy for a 73 year-old to swing so I guess it'll have to go on the block. Old men need light guns! Chopperlump
