This is an intriguing thread! For the fourth year, my daughter and I will be sitting together and she’ll be carrying her grandmothers customized 12 gauge Remington 870. Includes red dot, adjustable stock and cameo foreend. Being 14, she will still use Remington pheasant loads in #5 2 3/4 inch shells. Starting at age 11 she has harvested a jake, Boss Tom of the property, and last year a double bearded Tom, respectively. The last two were both giant birds! As for me, not sure what I’m shooting this year! We normally don’t get the same season but I am motivated by this post and now have thoughts to pick up an 870 in 16 gauge and customize it to add to the collection!
