Very nice Stan!

I need to visit the Hoover Museum one day

"...I took the girls out to find some pheasant in last weeks snow. We found a few and I was able to snap a pic of Lexi on point. Was good to get the dogs some exercise and they enjoyed the snow. I was surprised how quickly they had ice freezing to their feet."

I might have mentioned this before but I have found Mushers Wax to work very well in snow conditions on your pups paws. With latex gloves on, you slather it on thick before the hunt and by the end of the day there's almost no wax left on the pads or fur between the toes. So you don't have to worry about them tracking it on the fine carpet back at hunting camp. And the one application of wax seems to work all day.

And thanks for the story about Charles Askins shotgun! I sure wish I knew more history on my Parkers!

Thanks Chris for the tip on Musher's Wax, I'll have to look about picking some up.

I want to save you the disappointment my friend, as you can tell, I only own a few Parker's.

I hear the Ithaca shotguns are a poor man's Parker.:violin:

Yeah says the curator ! I had some Ithaca’s as well for awhile . I’m kinda curious about this new found intrest in Nichols & Lefever was it :whistle:
