A little hunting (and fishing) with a Parker (VHE 28 ga.). Coastal Georgia.
Tide was right and weather good. My middle son and myself. The game, stalk, flush, shot, Parker did its job. Tailing Redfish, got a bite, hooked him, reel him in. Please excuse a little showing off.

Nice!! Reds and rails - can it get any better? Cast and blast is sure a fun way to spend the day.

How many people bird hunt with their pants rolled up? Now that is rare. I'll bet Richard don't do that in Alaska. I can't imagine. I heard of a fellow that had a bird dog that could catch fish. He would say go get me a fish and he would go get one. Will those birds hold for a dog. Good pics. Thanks. Gerald

Hmmm. What's that complicated thng hanging under the fish pole? Ought to be a fly reel, if it's goping to be paired with a vintage gun. Spinning reel = black gun, IMHO

Thanks for the responses.
Mr. McPherson: There were a couple of birds that we could hear and one we could see sitting on a reed raft but could not get to with the boat. There were some wading shoes in the boat so I figured what the hell I'll give it a try. I'm starting a new trend. In addition to the traditional "Upland" hunting we now have "Upwater" hunting.

Mr. Dallas: Since we were useing plebeian "V" grade Parkers (my son the 28 ga., me the .410) I felt the spin reel was appropriate. Had we been useing the "D" and "C" grades then the Leonard or Garrison would have been more fitting.

Great pic's James, what length barrel is on the gun you are holding pointing up? Tom.

James Brown 10-20-2010 08:20 PM

Thanks, Tom. VHE, 28 ga. orig. 26 in.
