This is for people interested in pheasant hunting, Pheasants Forever or the PGCA exhibit at Pheasant Fest in Madison WIS this last weekend.
Our booth before the doors opened and the storm hit. We had the raffle gun, the John Browning AH ( yes John Browning shot a Parker, and darned near wore it out), a display of all Parker gauges, grades Trojan through A, five full racks of guns totalling 37 on display, and a bunch of great people.

Yet another
Many people have said they have never seen so many Parkers together, some have never seen so many high grades and such variety. I don't know about that, we have nice variety at Vintagers, but for many folks out here, this shows them a lot about Parkers.

| The John M Browning AH 12ga is owned by the PGCA and has its own display case. Browning darn near wore it out but more recently the PGCA has had it put back on face and gotten it in a more presentable condition. Attached Image (viewed 269 times):

The workers, less Bill Bolyard, who didn't want to be seen with us at the time. What Bill doesn't realize, coming from the grouse woods as he does, is that these pheasant hats are great for hunting and are great pheasant camo.
Front: Ed Morgan, Allan Swanson, Tom Wooden.
Rear: Pete Kappes, Greg Dershem, Bruce Day, Jeff Kuss, Charlie Herzog.

| Old pheasant hunting friends and landowners from Nebraska stopped by to talk and try to get into the booth to look at Parkers. Here, Tom Menze and Roger Prachiel talk to Allan. Maybe some day Tom and Roger will be Parker shooters. Attached Image (viewed 257 times):
