Hi!

My name is Jay Johnson. 52 years-old and a lifelong resident of Minnesota. Work for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in the Division of Wildlife.

I've been bird hunting here my entire life and have spent most of it chasing ruffed grouse and woodcock behind english setters.

I shoot two bird guns. A 1924 Parker VHE 20 bore 28" IC/M and a Henry Clarke & Sons 16 bore, 28" CYL/1/4.

Here I am with my setter female Meg and a couple of grouse just shot over her point.

Welcome Jay! We are glad to have you! Great pictures ..Thanks for posting them.May I suggest joining the PGCA. There is a lot of knowledge here and some fun to be had also! Our quarterly publication "Parker Pages" is second to none. Also If you decide to get a research letter on your Parker the cost is only$40.00 vs. $100.00 for a non member.

Jim...Yes I'm a traditional archer have been since I started shooting in 1968.

I saw the group at Pheasant Fest and it reminded me to go home and join which I just did!

Hello Jay. Beautiful little setter you have there. Thanks for joining the PGCA. Is that your H. Clarke that you are holding in your pic? She looks to have some long tubes on her. We'd love to see pictures of your Parker 20 and that Clarke when you have the chance. You'll find we love pictures of guns and dogs here.
