Well I guess that's a pretty good reason Allen.

See you next time.

Sophie is quite special. I've had her at Markover on three occasions and she has performed flawlessly. Hunts close, doesn't range wide, quarters on command, points like a fool and retrieves to hand. She's located and pointed all the birds put out and then some. Her retrieving to hand is natural and is without any training from me. She's unbelievable and I'm looking forward to working her next season on woodcock and grouse in Maine. The two guides at Markover that we've used are just blown away at how natural she hunts. I'll miss this shoot for sure

Yep.... I would.


She'll be fine on an old blanket and some old towels.... she'll be lickin' herself all day and won't leave much of a mess.

Sophie's wagging her tail so I guess that means we'll attend. Besides bringing along a 20 ga Parker I wish to sell, is there anything else I can bring? Food stuff?

By the way, what events are we shooting? Trap? Skeet? Five stand? All?

Ah hem. Lemme see. As Sophie's agent, I assume I am entitled to a substantial discount on the gun

I've been going through some pictures and getting ready for the onslaught of contributions for Parker Pages and I came across a folder with pics of the 2011 New Year's Day shoot.

Austin came down that day... There were a bunch of Parkers and two or three 'off brands' as well.
These New Year's Day shoots are each just a bit different from past ones and that's what makes them so much darn fun!!
