I had assumed I would shoot my 20 bore Fabbri on the opener, just because I like the gun quite a bit......
But, changing weather forecast look like we have a pretty good chance at thunderstorms tonight, which usually plays ol' Billy Hell with our native bird population. This dried out ranch certainly needs the rain, but even small storms tend to move birds out.....frequent occurrence in my lifetime of Opening Days....We have a pretty regular pattern of early September rainfall in this area over my lifetime, and even longer according to some "older" timers than even me.
I will dig around and get a 20 ga. 30" Browning O/U choked F&F, out to use on the scattered remnants if that scenario comes to pass tomorrow.
Very similar model to Mr. Cash's fine choice. Mine are European versions with nice FIXED choke barrels and very effective 10mm ribs. I have several , and have used them extensively for 28 years now.
Here is hoping for a Great Opening for all of you gentlemen.
