Thanks for all the responses. It is an honor to see the home page use the picture. As for the new bride, we managed to get to Alaska when it was hot here and in a few weeks we will find our way to Mexico, when it will be really cold here.

Here is "Charlie" on another cold day with her beautiful big solid birds. I accounted for 1.5 roosters. Photo taken by one of my hunting buddies, who got 2.5 roosters. We both hit one of these birds, which required a little extra lead removal. All were delicious.

Again, the Borden Parker is featured. My undisputed rooster was another left to right crossing around 35 yards. With F/F barrels, I don't dare shoot them much closer.

Two balaclavas were worn on this hunt. They were off for the pic but back on right after. Oh, the ammo here is #4 paper Canucks. I found a box of pristine Canucks from the 1950's and they were a most fitting choice for the Borden Parker. Half that box has been expended and I have to admit quite a few shot holes in the sky between each successful shot.
