Greetings, I am new to this forum and Parker ownership. I live in the home State of Parker and I just picked up an honest VH that was in my friend's family since his grampa was given it in 1922. I hope to join the club and get a letter, tho I know where it has been since it was new.

Greg,
We're glad you're here! Congratulations on your new Parker. I hope you will see fit to join the PGCA soon. Lots of benefits, but most important is the quarterly magazine, Parker Pages. Good luck to you.
Mike

Welcome Greg,
You should get that Parker out and burn some powder. Perhaps we will see you at one of the clubs shooting sporting clays one weekend.

Hi Greg,

You are very lucky to have a piece of local heritage! Treat that ol' gal as would have your friend's grandpa. That her out and shoot clay target to practice for hunting. There is truely something special about hunting with a shotgun which was used much in the same way 100 years ago!

Welcome aboard,
Mark

Charlie, My wife went down to Jackson to be with a friend while she had carteriod artery surgery, spent a week down there, back now she said it rained every day and was hot as Hell, is it like that all the time down there, and how far are you from Jackson? How do you get anything done outside if it rains every day, being in the construction business all my life got a kick about you talking about that dozer and the yellow jackets, does your dozer have six way hydraulic blade or do you angle it by hand and crank with a pony engine. I had a D-3 for a while here on the farm but finally sold it. Gary

Same here Charlie, I am in the southwest mountains of V.A. rarely does it get over 90 here most of time low to mid 80's, but it is not uncommon for it to get -15 in the winter time all the more reason to go to florida then. We have a lot of wildlife here, picture of that gobbler was taken in front yard, lot's of bear they come on the porch once in a while, Deer a big one 225, most 175 or so I plant several food plots have gone to red and white clover and orchard grass, used to plant corn but just to many bears and close brushes with them.
