Thanks. Wish I could do more wildfowl hunting between Wien Lake and Fairbanks. Better luck probably near the ABC Islands and Ketchikan.

Nash Buckingham in his early years used a 34 inch Parker for ducks and geese. He was a writer who knew about Fred Kimble's duck guns. Buckingham was fascinated by the back boring efforts of Bert Becker and the AH Fox skilled craftsmen. Gough engraved his first HE/XE SuperFox-then Becker did his special boring on it. "Bo Whoop" now sits at the Ducks Unlimited HQ in Memphis. It brought a record amount at auction. Few shotguns share its use or history. It would be nice to get that CHE 3 inch chambered Parker and wring it out against my Super Fox at 55 yards.

I am a former PGCA member with overdue membership dues.......mea culpa.
