Parkerized waterfowl in tropical MI
 

Despite the afternoon temps in the 80's a few birds were collected with the old Parker. The 32" GHE damascus performed as expected. After purchase in the spring she had to go in and get the ejectors fixed and safety guts installed. She now performs like she did in 1921 when she left Meriden as a young lady. The old girl really likes the thunder made from the 1 1/4 oz bismuth and ITX. With chokes at 0.048/0.040 she smacks the birds way out there.

Saturday Mrs. GHE shot 2 honkers, a wood duck and a mallard.
Sunday she collected 3 high flying woodies.

Mrs. GHE asked me to try to find her missing set of 26" damascus barrels. If anyone knows where a set of barrels for SN193979 would be please let me know. It would make the Mrs. happy if they were found.

Good work Kurt, sounds like we're both getting into them despite the warm weather.

Good job Kurt. Those woodies sure are purty!

Yep, almost too pretty to shoot. Really tore up the hen as she was ripping the air at tree tops with a squadron of her comrads. Not enough time to pick a male out of that flock. I am keeping all the flank feathers for a buddy that ties flies. He ties up a wicked Hex imitation with the nice lemon colored ones. One of the artists downstate bought one of them and did a very nice oil painting of it. She sells the originals for big money and has a few prints made. She gave him 1/25 of the hex prints.
