Dennis: I live in Star,Idaho after living in Alaska for 38 years and find it a great place to live with a lot of hunting and fishing but nothing like Alaska. Thomas

Harold, there is a vintage doubles shoot at Hunting Hills (in Greene county Pa) on the 7th of September. I got a flyer when I was down there at a RGS shoot last week.

John Taddeo 08-30-2013 06:03 PM

Oh yeah, I hail from western Pa. Home of church Pierogies and the Stillers

I have a Parker membership list I believe you get at least when you join, if not every year that has the members addresses. Doesn't everyone have one ? Paul

Star, Idaho, eh Thomas??? I flew over the potato fields south of there once on my way to Salt Lake City and couldn't figure out why all these stake trucks were full of boulders..... until I went low enough to tell that they were potatoes! They looked about the size of footballs!

Thomas L. Benson Sr. 08-30-2013 08:27 PM

Richard: I don't think they compare to the vegetabils out of the Mat Valley in Palmer Alaska were the guy just grew a pumpkin that weighed over a thousand pounds,now that's a lot of pies. Yes they do grow some taters here and if you eat in McDonalds or five Guys you get Idaho fries. Thomas

Richard Flanders 08-30-2013 11:26 PM

Roger that. That Valley pumpkin guy just broke the record for his third time. He's dedicated. The broccoli heads up here in Fairbanks this summer are dinner plate sized. Never seen anything like it. It was a rainy summer so Interior gardens really produced. After seeing those big Idaho potatoes I knew where the incredibly long McD's fries came from.

The socialist state of Massachusetts. Want to move up north now that wife has passed but daughters are threatening to drive a stake through my heart if I leave the state and the grandkids. My compromise may be to sell the house here in Plymouth in a year or so, get an apartment here and buy a camp up north close or on some water for the grandkids.

Michael Murphy 09-03-2013 08:53 AM

Allen, Do you shoot at the Plymouth club? Did a bit of NSSA shooting there many years ago when I lived in the bay state. Too bad it's turned from a Commonwealth to a Commisar!

allen newell 09-03-2013 12:43 PM

Yes Michael, I shoot at the Plymouth Rod & Gun Club and expect to be voted in as a new member next Monday.

I'm a little northeast of High Level, Alberta. That is about 100 miles from the Northwest Territories border. There is a relatively small patch of farm land to the south east of me, but other than that it is all government owned boreal forest without a lot of roads.
I don't know anyone within hundreds of miles that shoots vintage SxSs or would know the difference between a Stevens and a Parker. Met up with Richard Flanders and Trigg Davis at a friends place that is on the highway south from Alaska a few times for a Parker goose and grouse shoot and that was a true pleasure. Some day, probably when I retire, I hope to spend a summer in the NE U.S. and hit all the vintage SxS shoots. If anyone is passing through northwest Alberta High Level is the last town before you hit the territories. Drop me a pm and we can get together and talk shotguns or do some shooting.

Ben Rawls 09-05-2013 11:40 PM

I'm in the Daytona Beach area of central Florida. I'll be happy to talk shotguns and drink coffee with anyone but we'll have to sit on the porch. No room in the house for the shotguns and motorcycle parts.

Gary Carmichael Sr 09-06-2013 04:03 PM

Ok, Im am traveling through Maine I am in the Bangor area for a few days any body in this area would like to talk Parkers over coffee? I will be heading south to the Vintigers in a week or so stopping over in Mass for a nite or so before getting to RI Gary

allen newell 09-06-2013 07:39 PM

Gary
If you need a place to stay while you're in Mass on the way to the Vintagers at Addieville, you're more than welcome to stay at my home in Plymouth. Just let me know. There's plenty of room. my email is: anewell6@verizon.net
