Anyone hitting the dove field on the 1st? I am having the same issue of what sxs to take afield. I have it narrowed down to one of my AYAs, just not sure what gauge.. 410 or 28. Decisions decisions

Oh yeah, baby. Barring the rapture, or an earthquake that opens a fissure in the earth which swallows our sunflower field, or death, I'll be there. We will have a big cookout under the shed for lunch, sit around in the shade for a couple hours, then hit the field about 3:00 p.m., shoot for a couple hours or until a limit is reached, then pull out and leave them to feed for the rest of the afternoon. The .410 FAIR Iside Tartaruga Gold that is being built in Italy will not have arrived, so my gun will be the Dickinson .410, posed here with some of last year's quail. 8 days and a wake-up ............. https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/ge...mp;font=cursive SRH

Stan, Very nice! I am leaning towards my AYA# 2 .410 I do have that new to me, that little 3/4 scale flint lock fowler in 28 gage by Ken Netting that I'll take out during the season. Now I just need to remember to take some pictures.

How about a wager, Geo?
$10 a shell, for every shell I shoot with my "toy gun", above the number you shoot with your 12, that is required for each of us to take a limit. If one of us does not get a limit we'll do the math to make it equal.
Gentleman's honor, and the check will be written to Dave for the upkeep of this site.

Stan, do the deacons know you're a gamblin' man? Then again, maybe you don't consider that a gamble... To the OP, I will be there the 1st, but will prolly only bring one gun for gray rockets:

Sounds like a fair wager with proceeds going to a good cause. Don't think the GOD would not mind that.
As for me I think I will. Still be trying to gather the corn crop. This rain has delayed us buy a couple of weeks.
No sure fire shoot on the horizon anyway.
If one comes up and weather permitting, I will carry my grade III Browning Superposed, fighting Cocks, as I want to shoot it some before I head to Montana late September.

I am having the same problem deciding on my Ruger 28 or my Savage .410 for doves this year. Never shot either at them. This will be a first.

Winchester 42 High grade first day. Second day will be my late uncles .410 Crescent double as a tribute to his memory. After that its back to the 42 until I run out of dove, shells or days.
