22 LR to the head . Or atleast that was the only choice when my grandfather was taking me . I’ve got a greatly changed Ruger 10/22 with a Whistle Pig barrel a enhanced trigger , regrouped headspace , a suppressor and a decent scope . This little rifle shoots Norma TAC 22 LR in very tiny five shot groups at 25 and 50 yards . But if the inclination for a shotgun kicks in I suspect a 28 or 20 with 6’s oughtta be okay .

I’m no big fan of Lima’s but I figure I’ll give it a try atleast the first time . I’m planning on making some Pheasent curry this weekend and it calls for peas , I’ve never been a great fan of peas but I’m gonna include them atleast once . To be honest the recipe calls for snow peas but if unavailable any peas etc . And yesterday there were no snow peas to be found in the local Food Kitty .

Oooooh, pheasant curry!! Now you're talking!

Craig, are you doing Hank Shaws recipe? I've done that one, fantastic. Look up his Ethiopian Venison Stew, that's a sure winner and a favorite of mine. I'm hungry now.

Yes it is as a matter of fact .

I'll give the Ethipoian deer a look see .

Cooking to me is based on SIMPLICITY first and quickness second unless of course the cooking can be done via crockpot then the speed aspect is no longer that important .

You might wanna pass on the Ethiopian venison then Craig. It's some substantial work, but worth it. I like simple too, but then again it's been 20 years since I put pheasant breasts in cream of mushroom soup.

I wanna try the curry this weekend and maybe get some treerats next week for Brunswick stew very shortly thereafter .

A cousin was in the shop today telling me he had planned on inviting me today for a rabbit hunt but the snow this week kinda messed that up . So if he gets back to me in the next couple weeks and I can get a couple rabbits I wanna try them venison and duck breasts in the Colonial Williamsburg game pie .

Guys are killing me here!! Looks like we have to add a recipe page to Parker Pages. "If you can shoot it with a Parker, the recipe can go here...."

DUDE, I do believe that was MY IDEA :banghead: No venison stew for you!!!

For our New Year's Eve dinner, I made pheasant tikka masala, with a side of saag paneer & brown rice. Washed down with a good beer, it was a nice ending to 2021.
