Mike, We have not yet got that wind system here 4 hours south of you....Birds plentiful , and shooting is easy, but " the winds of change are a' comin'" I fear. thankful for what we have, hopeful for the rest of the season.

I like Rem 3200 for target shooting.
They are heavy but reliable.
I made a 16 gauge set of barrels to go with
the 12,20,28, & 410 sets that I have with
one of my 3200s.
Mike

Skeetx; I thought you would wonder what I was up to: The Grandson and I went to The Nebraska Sandhills: We spent the first morning, just "going North" from his uncle's ranch. We saw three Mule Deer Does (Uncle says there are a couple "Nice Bucks" with them, but we didn't see any bucks) We ran across a couple of coyote pups, and one, which my Grandson said we must have woke up, was real close, and looked at us like "Who are THOSE guys?" Anyway, after he looked us over, he trotted off, but not at a high lope. Grandson whistled (how the hell do you spell "Whistle?")at him, and he stopped.
Then, in the afternoon, we hunted Doves. I used a side by side
"Purdey" and it still had it's magic, as once I figured out the lead, just killed every dove on every shot. I had an old box of handloaded 7's (yeah, 7's, not 7 1/2's) they really worked. Anyway, maybe next year .410's...we will see.

What gauge(s) do you use for dove?? RWTF I like the imp.cyl. imp.mod. combo. A fortunate friend has a Churchill XXV bored cyl. right barrel and 1/8th choke left (assume that is Skeet choking? He uses RST 2&1/2" shot shells- lucky guy indeed. RWTF

The Perazzi was a 12 ga. The Beretta was a 20 ga. The woman who I was shooting with had a 28 ga. I was going to take my 24 ga but could not locate it.

Shot in front of the ranch Headquarters this afternoon. Late returning from town, saw lots of Mourners trading over the Hdq. to a standing wheat field behind the house.
Shot a limit , but paid the price in shells expended.... had one gun , an open choked Piotti 28 ga. in the house... short of daylight.... I was a bit undergunned, but put a limit down .... the average suffered...
these look like new migrants.....
Up in the morning to try the Teal opener, spotted 30+ on one duck hole driving in this afternoon.
