Thanks Tom. I guess a 20 ga is a subgauge to some people - to me it's more than adequate. The only time I pulled the 12 ga. out the last couple of years is when the 20 was in the shop. If Kent would make a Fasteel load for the 28 ga. I'd use that more often. The way it is all I have is some reloaded Hevi-shot and that really gets expensive.
As far as Otto retiring, he has indeed earned it and I really don't think he minds all that much. I think he knows he can't get around like he used to and is satisfied with smells. He can't hear well anymore and I don't think his eyesight is very good either. Sad to see it happen when he isn't even 11 yet but that's life.
Yep, I'll get out after the ducks - soon. I shoot 80-90% of my birds the last 30-35 days of the season anyway so I have plenty of time. I'll be up in your neck of the woods come the end of November for the birth of my 4th granddaughter so maybe we can hookup.
