New member from Minnesota
 

Hi!

My name is Jay Johnson. 52 years-old and a lifelong resident of Minnesota. Work for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in the Division of Wildlife.

I've been bird hunting here my entire life and have spent most of it chasing ruffed grouse and woodcock behind english setters.

I shoot two bird guns. A 1924 Parker VHE 20 bore 28" IC/M and a Henry Clarke & Sons 16 bore, 28" CYL/1/4.

Here I am with my setter female Meg and a couple of grouse just shot over her point.

Welcome Jay! We are glad to have you! Great pictures ..Thanks for posting them.May I suggest joining the PGCA. There is a lot of knowledge here and some fun to be had also! Our quarterly publication "Parker Pages" is second to none. Also If you decide to get a research letter on your Parker the cost is only$40.00 vs. $100.00 for a non member.

Hello, Jay glad you came and thanks for the pictures we really like them. Nice lookin dog.

We will have a big PGCA exhibit at the Pheasant Fest in St Paul Feb 15-17. Come by. Forty to fifty Parkers of all types will be on display.

Welcome Jay!
I think you will find this site and printed publication most interesting. Your interests are similar to may of our members.

Welcome to the Parker site Jay. I am from Morgan Mn. Didn't I see you on a traditional archery site. I am also a longbow hunter and a flintlock hunter.Jim

Jim...Yes I'm a traditional archer have been since I started shooting in 1968.

I saw the group at Pheasant Fest and it reminded me to go home and join which I just did!

Thanks for joining Jay - the more, the merrier!

I think you will really enjoy being a member of this organization. This PGCA is a never-ending learning process and a lot of fun too.

Hello Jay. Beautiful little setter you have there. Thanks for joining the PGCA. Is that your H. Clarke that you are holding in your pic? She looks to have some long tubes on her. We'd love to see pictures of your Parker 20 and that Clarke when you have the chance. You'll find we love pictures of guns and dogs here.
