Double on Dove
 

I was shooting Papa's Trojan 20 yesterday. The wind was brisk and dove running with the wind were a trick to down. Those beating against the wind were easy shots, but few took that tack. I shot two boxes of shells and was a little disappointed in myself plus I screwed myself into the ground more than once trying to get in front of a bird. I hate shooting over corn because you miss more shooting trying to pick up a downed bird. The same with shooting a double. You can follow the last bird shot to ground and pick it up, but the first bird shot often takes forever to bring to bag. I shot a double yesterday and had a half mark on the first bird and a positive mark on the second. I picked both up and was back on my stand within two minutes. My tail wags for dove season.

Good job Harry! I got a double on doves with one of my Trojan 20's as well. Did you get a photo?

I have photos, but I'm not clever enough to post pictures from Mac. I select the picture, I push the uoad button and nothing. The upload button does not acknowledge being pushed and I wait and still nothing.

congratulations harry on the double.. charlie

Send me the pics and I'll post them for you Harry

The double is in the Sandringham Bag with the 20 Trojan topside.

Dove hunting with a Parker
 

Harry,I have Parker Trojan in 16ga.and it is just so well balanced and light and perfect for me in the field while hunting dove. J.J.

Harry, this would make a great short piece for Parker Pages.

JJ,

I agree that the Trojan is a handy Parker in all gauges. The 20 was found by my father under the Christmas Tree.

Mills,

I guess I could scratch a story out of it. I have a story I've been meaning to send for a few years now.

Great shooting Harry! Write that story up and get it to Dean before the 15th.

What type shell do people use in Damascus barreled Parkers? Not steel shot, I know, but can you use 'high brass'?

A lot of us use RST shells
