Me too Garry - this year, so I should be filling my game pockets this fall in the grouse covers...
My grandson, Cam, was gifted his great-grandfather's Parker VH 20 about ten years ago. I wrote about it in Parker Pages. It will always be in the family I'm sure.

Let me know how your season goes, Dean. I most certainly do not shoot much better with my new eyes, but now I can clearly see the birds I miss, and, regretfully, see the disdainfully tolerant look in my dogs eyes when I don’t produce a bird for them.
