Yep. Always a good spot. Several roosters taken there over the years. Also, there is a creek between the fence and the trees. It's part of a 100 miles or more of that creek. Pheasants thrive over the full length. The creek drops into North Dakota and comes back into Manitoba, but most of it is in Saskatchewan. A lot of imagination went into naming it - Long Creek.
Different day but this rooster's tail is touching one of the fence posts in the earlier picture.

I thought I would leave the expended shell in the picture for the effect. Yes, that was the shell that took the rooster. Good eye for detail. I think you are the first person to notice that shell. I have posted that particular picture in past discussions. The VH is my first Parker purchase after joining the forum. It was pretty rough and I learned a lot from the folks here on getting it apart with its specific issues. When I told the guy I bought it from that I was going to remove the stock pin, he shuddered and said I might be sorry. Of course it was broken inside with loose and missing wood and lots of oil. For some, that could have been a turn off. For me, it was a new challenge which allowed me to later take on SECOND CHANCE GUN without fear
I have used various digital cameras from little pocket varieties to the Canon EOS 30 D. That particular shot was with the Canon. The camera isn't really the critical part. The light, framing, focus and a bit of understanding regarding exposure gets the job done, regardless of camera. There are print size issues as far as enlargements go with the smaller cameras but I have seen some very nice pictures taken with old Brownie Instamatics. Viewing on a computer screen is also quite forgiving versus printed pictures. These shots are from small pocket varieties, which are much easier to have with you in the field.

Jack,
Nice photos of your country up there! Nice Parker, too! Best of luck this fall in your searches. I heard you had a lot of rainfall up your way this past spring? Did it seem to affect your bird numbers to any degree? Take care. Wes |

Wes: Rain seems to have effected the hun numbers around here. Haven't seen too many young birds. Ducks and geese are thriving. Haven't been to pheasant country, so don't know but I'm thinking numbers will be down this year. Of course that won't stop me from looking.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for the report, I appreciate it! I was told earlier that it was wet up your way, but hey, that just makes it more of a challenge, right? The dogs will have the most fun, anyway! Best of luck to you this coming fall in the fields of Saskatchewan w/ your Parker in hand. Wes |
