I was cleaning out my gun safe tonight and I was thinking about all the tradition and the years of hunting the guns in my safe have seen. Both my Granddad hunted, I ended up with both of their guns and a couple of my great grandfathers guns. Not to mention my first gun to my latest.

A5, Model 32, Model 12, Model 21 and so on. All of them put food on the table for our family for years.

Anyway, this years early season I will be hunting with one of my Granddads A5's, it may not be as fast as my Maxus but it worked for them for years.

What are you hunting with this season?

Barretta Extrema II

I will be shooting expert 2s all the way through the season. It patterns great through the Barretta Modified choke tubes, and have now switched to shooting 2's for geese also.

Benelli M2 20 gauge. I'm really looking forward to hunting geese with it this year.

Im with you I shoot a A-5!! Had it since 1996 and will shoot it till it wont fire anymore. It is beyond beat up but still does what I need it to do. I bought a case Hevi-Metal of 3" 3s. Looks like the stuff is killer on the bigger ducks

Shooting a Mossy 930 Auto Loader I bought last year. Cheap gun I know but works great for me. Plus I'm hooked on the top-mount safety. Been shooting Mossberg since I was a kid.

Running some Xpert 2 3/4" on ducks and 3" Black Cloud for Canadians.

This will be my first early season with the Benelli Vinci. I went with the 28" barrel and I wish I would have done it a lot sooner. I am going to try out the Carlson's mid range black cloud choke tube. For early season I am going to go with #4 Kent fast steel. For the regular season I will swich over to #3 Black Cloud, probably the high velocity. I shot the heck out of Canada's last year with the #2 Black cloud snow goose load so I am anxious to see what the #3's are like for ducks.

hey nothing wrong with hunting with what you like shooting. I started off on a Mossberg and still have it. I am with you on the top safety, I always liked that about that gun. I have a friend that still rabbit hunts with his single shot HR 20 gauge. It don't matter what it cost it is how you shoot it.

Skybusters are a perfect example :25:

 

[SNOTS]

Benelli M2 Field and a Beretta Extrema I, 3" Kent fast steel 1 1/4 oz BB. Shot BB all year round from early teal to late goose.

 

[peddar01]

My old Mossberg 500. Yeah it's not flashy but it knows the river top to bottom, it really does know the bottom. Shoots every time and shoulders like a third arm.:4:

 

[chipper140]

Will be using my 870. With 2 3/4" 2s and 4s experts early and 3" 2s supremes late.
