Dean, I may be mistaken but I think that article was re: Dr. Havilah Babcock’s Parkers.

You’re right, it was.

A Parker is in many of his stories that predate his retirement so I doubt this is the gun giving to him when he retired . He also hunted turkey with his Parker and used a #2 shot in the left barrel so some of the notches could be turkeys . But I don’t know this for sure .

I had thoughts of trying to kill a deer down in the Georgetown are namely at the Backwoods Quail Club and Mr. Hemingway informed me he could put me somewhere the odds would be in my favor to smoke one with buckshot , but it wouldn’t be quite the same as Rutledges experiences . I asked what he meant and he said now it’s not politically correct to use black folks as drivers . That was meant tongue in cheek of course .

There is a Parker that should be left as is forever.

Count roughly 126 notches, Chuck could do a better job with his records reading. I am not sure but will try to find out from his books how many he killed but that is only a fraction i believe. At least 250 in that he writes of that hunt but i believe there were many more.
