It's 4 AM and I've been awake for over an hour. Drove 300 miles yesterday from New York to Maryland's Eastern Shore to get here for the dove opener. Checked the field we will be shooting today, birds look better than last year but not a bumper crop. Still have not decided on what gun to shoot. I think I will start with my Bernardelli Brescia hammer gun then switch to a Browning Mod. 42. I still don't have enough confidence in the bird numbers to think I can get it done with the .410.

Well another 2 1/2 hours and the hotel will get breakfast out.
