Knew that the picture of your son holding up that black tree rat was from the delta. Only place I have ever seen them is inside the levee.

That English walnut really heats up a V grade Parker. Great gun.

As good as that gun is, the story might be better! Thanks for sharing this. It sure beats hearing about another crime on the national media. I'm glad to read accounts like this to help me remember that most of the world is good.

That is my Nathan who is now 22. We killed a sack of fox squirrels at Mahanna WMA just north of Vicksburg. 4 of our squirrels were black. The lower Delta region in our area has 10-15 percent black phase fox squirrels. I mounted the one he's holding. It was a great memory with my son and the Parker.

What a great story. Very nice looking gun. And many kudos to your wife for what she did after all those years. She and the gunsmith must have had that worked out long in advance! Just goes to show you that collusion works!!
