Parker Pages
 

Mine arrived today. As usual it appears to contain some good reading which I hope to get to tomorrow during those pesky storms that will not go away. Thanks to Dean for his efforts and all the folks that contributed.

i have done read mine cover to cover...keep up the great work dean and others.....charlie

Enjoyed it very much thanks to Dean and all the authors. Craig

Have thoroughly enjoyed the latest (and my first!) issue. I like it so well that I think I'll order a copy of the archive. Thanks to all who made this happen!

Bill, you’ll have countless hours of education and entertainment. Great choice!

Mine arrived a few days ago. Good articles as always!! I agree with Bill, time to pony up and purchase the archive.

If I bought the archive, what would I do with the 30-inches of shelf space all the hard copies take up?

Well I’m not big on digital magazines so to speak , however I got a flash drive of the archives from Mr. McKinny . My reasoning it’s much easier to carry that little bitty flash drive when I travel via air then it is to bring a stack of magazines and of course when I fly I ALWAYS have a laptop along so the flash drives a no brainer. :bigbye:

That's a new twist I hadn't thought of. Good thinkin' Craig!

However, to avoid the possibility of losing the flash drive you could download the entire thing onto your hard drive and never be without it.

The hard copies are the best by far but the PP Digital Archive has a much faster retrieval system... like instantaneous.

Nice issue and coverage of the Challenge and the Youth event. Good job guys.

I have the digital version and also all of the hard copies. Great resource!

Parker Pages - Two Days at Cheeha
 

The most recent Parker Pages was excellent. I especially enjoyed Mills Morrison's piece on the history and current uses for some of the low country plantations not too distant from the Cheeha River. Archibald Rutledge in all probability trod some of the same ground during the hey day of river rice plantations in the low country. Keep those articles coming.

Thank you for the kind words, Buddy. The person to really thank is my Dad for making that hunt possible. The article wrote itself from there.

I am not sure if Archibald Rutledge ever hunted here, as it is out of his territory, but I believe more than a few notables have been there

My congratulations to member Mike Franzen for his Parker Pages feature "Dr. Parker and Ohio Pheasants"!

It is well done and well photographed. PLUS, it features some of my favorite people and my fav preserve: Triple Creek Farms!

May they all enjoy their Parkers and the grand sport at TCF... that is, until I return and make a muck of things for a Fall afternoon.

Hammer gun in the hardwoods. What's not to like there? I see several articles I want to read. Just got ours today

Intresting my copy has yet to make it to the PO in central VA .

Parker Pages arrived in SoCal today.

7-18-19 and still no stinkin magazine :cuss:

Highly efficient printer/mailer and of course the near perfect USPS . :banghead:

I could understand if this happened once or even twice but every frickin time .

Ours arrived last week.

Craig, and all - As I've stated before.... All 1,352 copies of Parker Pages, Volume 26, Issue 2, were shipped from Village Press, our printer/publisher, by truck on a single pallet of several cases of the magazine to the USPS receiving/distribution center in Traverse City, Michigan. They were all processed according to postal zip codes and shipped to the various US Postal Distribution Centers across the country responsible for those zip codes.

Delay problems are not the result of mishandling by Village Press or the Traverse City US Postal Center... The delay problems a few members are experiencing are due to the (lackadaisical) handling accorded to "Periodicals" by these local post offices and distribution centers.

Anyone having ongoing late delivery problems should call or visit their local Postmaster... to begin with.

Thanks everybody for your patience.
Dean

As I said above once or twice would be no big deal but a two tonthree week DELAY everytime is unacceptable.

:dh:...sorry.

Dean : Thanks for including my story on duck hunting with hammer guns in the summer issue of Parker Pages. Please send me a couple of extra copies for my friends that did not know I could read or write. Thanks for all of your great work. Neil Compton

Thanks for your contribution Neil - and tell your friends I said you’re a darn good writer.

All contributors are sent three complimentary copies a couple of weeks after the issue is published.

Thanks again!

Dean
