Here are a few pics of Archibald Rutledge with his Parker. The second pic some people think that he is holding a "P" Grade Parker. Both of these are hanging in the club house at Backwoods Quail Club.

We get to go quail hunting with John Frierson who was a friend and hunting companion of Havilah Babcock and has written a book and several articles for Parker Pages. That happens this Friday

I met Mr. Frierson at a Southern S X S Fall Classic a few years ago and bought a copy of his book, and had him sign it. Nice fellow. Either in the book or in our conversation he referred to a S X S as a "two-row gun". That might not be as interesting a term to others as it was to me, being a row crop farmer. I had never heard that phrase before. I liked it.

In William Hazelton's "Fred Kimble: Master Duck Shot of the World," Kimble wrights about hunting geese and sandhill cranes in North Dakota with his Parker double gun.

Yeah, I get it; me neither, though I did read a few of Bill's and Vicki's because we had become sort of internet friends. Never read nor even heard of Bitch Creek. But I have all his outdoor books and have enjoyed them.
