Folks, I absolutely LOVE turkey hunting! It’s my happy place in the Spring woods here in KY. I was lucky enough to finish my world slam last year. I decided to put down my Benelli this year and pick up a Felix Sarasqueta that was used HEAVILY by my grandpa. Trying to learn more about that gun these days. My uncle gave it to me last year. I have so many memories of him rabbit and squirrel hunting with it with me. Anyway, I was lucky enough to harvest both of my birds in 4 days. The gun smoked them. I gotta say, I love hunting with a side by side now! I’m addicted. Lol! I have a Parker that has been in the family since it was made. Think it was around 1893. I posted info on it on this site this morning hoping someone could give me info about it. I’m a newbie on here but glad I found you guys!

Thanks I do appreciate it! Nice to change things up a little. Feel rejuvenated with a new type of shotgun. Lol!

Nice bird Allen. Be careful, they say it's an addiction. I think it applies to turkey hunting and Parkers.

Thank you Charlie! Just had to go to the grocery store and deal with the virus chaos out there. Would rather be hunting I know that much. Lol!!
