Red Skies to Redheads

[Rick Roemer]

What started out as a beautiful sunrise turned into a great duck hunt. Perfect extra cold conditions with just the right amount of wind. Big group came over screaming, hooked around and buzzed our decoys low. Dad and I ended with our redhead limit. Dunkle made the multiple retrieves. God Bless America!

You are livin’ right as my Pop used to say. The best part is that you realize it. Congratulations.

[Stan Hillis]

Great pics, Rick. Well done.

[Dean Romig]

Nice pictures and an even nicer DH !!

Thanks, Dean. It’s actually my first Parker with ejectors. Three frame, 12 gauge.

Thanks, Dean. It’s actually my first Parker with ejectors. Three frame, 12 gauge.



Fabulous! How long are the barrels?

[Rick Roemer]

30”. I’d love to find a set of 10 gauge to have fitted on this frame.

Great post , Rick, but you are killing me! You could not have done it with a more handsomely nostalgic duck gun and a more able looking dog, but what really put the sap on my head is that in my c. 57 years of duck hunting, I have NEVER killed a Redhead!! And perhaps the most moving of all for me is that you did it with your Dad!!! "Oh, the humanity!"

[Rick Roemer]

Well Kevin, it sounds like you and I need to go hunting! I’ll bring Dad.
When Reds commit it’s as if you are living out a MacQuarrie or Spiller story.

Great hunt and great pics. Redheads are right up there with Cans for being very tasty. How much does that #3 frame DH weight?

[John Dallas]

Nothing better than hunting big water ducks with a god dog. Coingrats!

[Chris Pope]

A stellar sunrise, 2 gorgeous redheads, a to-die-for Parker duck gun and a wet Griff...otherwise known as a walk-off grandslam homerun...

...the best part of course is the pup, who better get to lick the plates...

[John Dallas]

Whoops - GOOD dog. Needed another cup of coffee

[Richard Whitfield]

Great backdrop for a photo and that DH is the stuff dreams are made of.

[Rick Roemer]

Great hunt and great pics. Redheads are right up there with Cans for being very tasty. How much does that #3 frame DH weight?

8 lb 12 ounces. Matches letter.

[Gary Kephart]

Great pics - griff or wirehaire?

[Rick Roemer]

Griff. I had same question regarding your recent woodcock post? They are similar in appearance. I’ve had both.

[Will Gurton]

You know your dad loves you when he's willing to lay on a rock bar to spend time with you!

Good Luck with the rest of the season,

Will

[Rick Roemer]

Thanks, Will. I just don’t give him a choice.!
