Team Parker met in Mullen for the Sharptail Shootout. A great town, wonderful people and an outstanding community fundraiser. Prime prairie grouse country, 20 teams of shooters.
We stayed with our retired rancher friends Terry and Mardelle Huddle and hunted some 40 or 50 thousand acres on separate ranches owned by Bob Warner and Roger Tilton. Bo Petit was our guide. Bob is, like me, a Vietnam vet and served there in some tough times. Unlike me he was on the ground as an Army Ranger. He can still hit a running coyote with a six shooter. Bo is a young man in town, was a U of Iowa wrestler, and now mechanics and is assistant wrestling coach at the high school.
Parker people Charlie Herzog, Wayne Drury, Dave Weber, Dick Dow and me.
Tough hunting and the birds were down, but it was still a great hunt in great country. The proceeds go to college scholarships for the youth in the community. I'll be back.
