Yes. You could help by joining the PGCA and coming to help out. Period clothing or not we can always use people to answer questions by show attendees. We have an on line membership application.

By the way we sold out all of the raffle gun tickets. No more left. We will have to print more if we decide to continue the offer.

L-R. Ed Morgan, Jeff Christie, me, Jeff Kuss, Pete Kappes . Tom Wooden and Dick Dow momentarily absent.

Next year Pheasant Fest is in Schaumburg Illinois , a suburb of Chicago. Some major help will be needed there. I have avoided there and don’t even know if I could keep the truck gun under the seat.

Touche Bruce;

Dreaming one day when I won't feel guilty in that indulgence. About to have two boys in college. I guess I am the next in line old generation that appreciates these old guns and will probably be more active in a few more years, unless I get a big windfall of wampum. If and when that happens, Katy bar the door.

BTW been around guns and hunting all my life, but what I am learning about Parkers is what you guys are teaching me, and I have had at least 1 Parker always in possession for last 40 years. Dad has picked up few shooters that will also make it my way I hope a long time from now. All I have done is shot Parker's sparingly and cared for them. BTW a 16 gauge VH I have now, best I can tell has never been opened and was with a small lad with my dad when he bought it. Gun works flawlessly, is tight and has no operational issues, scared to even touch with a screwdriver.

The only thing I could help with is one day history since I love archaeology, and you guys know way more than I do, but hopefully getting there.

I talked to the Sioux Falls organizer of Phez Fest, and they are extremely happy with the turnout and the quality of the Pheasants Forever group. They served something like 1500 dinners - a record for PF. They look forward to being able to host the event again in the future

Thanks John.

2019 PF is by Chicago, a two day drive for me. I don’t know if I will do it again but we would need at least four or five members who would bring guns and stay all days from Fri through Sun. We pay our own way, the PGCA pays for nothing.

Great job Chick Magnet! And thanks for all you continue to do for the PGCA.

Thanks Senor Miguel. Kind words from a desperado.

Thanks for displaying for the PGCA and letting more hunters realize that is the best side by side ever made in the USA is the Parker. By using a side by side you let everyone know that you are not shooting for the market.

It was a friendly Group. We sold $2540. worth of raffle tickets.

Dean Romig · 02-23-2018, 06:44 AM

Great job of selling tickets Ed, and others who sold Raffle Gun tickets there.

Having hunted with the Chick Magnet I can assure you his prowess is in no way hampered by just having two shots.
