The "New" Spring 2012 Parker Pages
 

OK, so I haven't read it cover to cover. However, I have found a diamond among the writings of our members. The second to the last paragraph of Austin Hogan's article, as yet unread, suggests that we not disparage the doubtful provenance of another man's gun, but give him the tools and knowledge to properly investigate that provenance. Thank you, Austin, for that profound suggestion.

New Spring Parker Pages
 

Right on, Bill. Otherwise it's just top-down technical and bureaucratic interference which we all deplore. Thanks for that.

Just read Donald Mills amazing pheasant hunt, A Parker, a Dog, Some Birds and a Bear. Really enjoyed it Don and glad everything worked out for you and your dog.


Bruce your Sandhills Sharptail Shootout was a great article, I was out there in 2010..Hay Springs... on a Mulley hunt and read about the hunt in a sporting paper and it sounded like a fun hunt... now I really would love to make it some day.

Has anyone received their spring 2012 copy yet?

Ron Moore

Yep, yesterday. Its a good one!

Received mine yesterday too.

I saw John Frierson at the Columbia Gun Show on Saturday. I had already bought his book and had him autograph it for me. My Parker Pages was in the mail box when I got back. I have sold John several Parkers over the years and, let me tell you, he is tough to deal with, but a great sportsman and individual. Havilah Babcock was my English professor at The University of South Carolina in the 60's and you could always tell if class was going to be short or cancelled if Professor Babcock had on his hunting clothes and his dog was in the car outside.

Just finished my cover to cover read....... Great job guys. Thanks to the time and effort you put into making this Parker Pages great!

We have a lot of snow this winter... it will take the dog teams a long time to get my issue to me.

Same here Richard, probably two or three more weeks before I see it!

Boy, I wish I could figure out our postal system....the guys in New Hampshire and Mass. have theirs so they went right past Connecticut......:banghead:

George, I bought one of his Parkers, a month or so back. Maybe it's one you sold him. He has another one on Gunbroker right now.He sent me his book when I was in the hospital, which helped while away the waking hours. He's a hoot to chat with on the phone. He sounds like he still has the energy he had when he was a kid,

Edgar: He gets around now more than he did when he was working. I used to be a home builder and John did my landscaping & shrubbery. You're right, he is a hoot and I'll tell him about your post the next time I see him.

Best Regards, George:bigbye:
