PGCA Member Charles L Scott's story in DGJ

[Dean Romig]

"A Parker Brothers 12 Gauge GH Damascus Shotgun" beginning on page 68 of the current issue (Winter 2013) of The Double Gun and Single Shot Journal, written and photographed by C. L. Scott is a very nice read and is very well researched and documented. I thoroughly enjoyed your story Mr. Scott and hope to see more from you in the future. Where in the Northeast Kingdom of VT do you and your setters hunt grouse? (notice I didn't ask where you hunt woodcock.... nobody tells where their favorite woodcock covers are!)

Best Regards, Dean

Dean my favorite woodcock covers are in the Upper pennisula and the north central part of the state. :rotf:

[Rick Losey]

my favorite woodcock cover is the one on the west side off the curve of the dirt road 1/2 a mile from the county road that runs along the creek

I read that article last night, enjoyed it as well

I would also like to praise Mr. Scott. I thoroughly enjoyed the article and it was very well written. I think it will hit home with the many shooter/collector types. Nice job.

Mr. Scott's article is very nice. Also do not miss J.E. Fender's article and pictures about Geoffory Gournet and his fabulous engraving.

[Bill Murphy]

Rich, I never flew grouse in the location you and Rick Losey mentioned. It's a terrific woodcock cover, though.

[Mills Morrison]

It is a great article. I was interested to hear that a lot of 12 gauge Parkers from that era have 12 gauge chambers with 11 gauge bores. I think I have at least one of these myself and this explains why the bores on some of mine are so open.

I had a great place to hunt woodcock until recently. I certainly wasn't the first to find the area, and gradually more and more people were showing up. Finally, some neophyte who went as a guest with someone else decided to boast about his great day of woodcock hunting. Moron posted the location (literally) on a local internet message board. I guess being liked by strangers and sounding "cool" is more fun than hunting. Now the place looks like the parking lot at a high school football game.

I'd like to spit some beechnut in that dude's eye....

[Dean Romig]

I suspect it'll be a long, long time before he's anybody's "guest" again.
