Get a flat of B&P 7/8 oz shells. My VH kicks less using 7/8 oz than my Berretta OU does with 1 1/8.

Bill, thanks! I'll do just that. I toyed with a slip on recoil pad but couldn't remember who the maker was that I saw years ago. 7/8 is the way to go for 2 3/4 shells.

I see your from MD. I am torn between upland or a goose gun next. I hunt quite a bit out in Chestertown. I couldn't think of anything better than taking my two birds with a Parker instead of my Benelli. My springer would prefer an upland gun I'm sure. This VH won't be my last.

Ken;
I do my waterfowl hunting in Rock Hall. Maybe we should link up for a hunt. I've got a few "waterfowl type" Parkers to shoot if you would like to leave that Benelli in the safe.

Yes, I'm just up river from you in a hunt club. I was invited this year so I'm still learning the ropes there. We should certainly get in touch for these late season field hunts out there. I'll send you a PM and thank you for offering to shoot your Parker.

In the late 50's, a man named Les Main (Mayne?) and his wife ran the Rock Hall Marina. Our family would bring our boat in there once or twice a year. Nice folks. Wonder if that name is still around Rock Hall.
My first experience in a duck blind was on the Chester River, and later, I had a chance to hunt around Elliott Island. It's still a magic part of the world

John,

Chestertown is quite the experience for sure. It's a bucket list item for most water fowlers as much as it is to own a Parker. With hundreds maybe thousands of populations of Geese and ducks, you never know what kind of hunt you'll have but you can guarantee there will be plenty of birds around. The hardest thing to do is find a place to hunt and I got that solved this year. Happy New Year to you.
