Opener is next Saturday and I'll be going out for my second year.
I've posted before about how impressed I was with how the state handles it's hunting land and how the locals welcome hunters. I'll let you know if my first impressions were accurate.
I'll be shooting a double with 2 sets of barrels - 20 ga and 28 ga - that I had success with. The only difference this year is that I traded into a box of older 1 oz loads of 28 (size 6). Current loads are generally 3/4 oz. My friend shoots a 16 and I don't feel undergunned. We shoot over dogs so my shots aren't overly long (if I keep my head up). I'll probably shoot the 28 on the first day before the birds get spooked. Hunting pressure isn't extreme, but they learn fast.
I hope to post a few pictures when I return.
