A very nice Blacktail buck taken in 1970 in Western Oregon . Not a Parker but, a "Williams" British made 13 bore muzzleloading double. I loaded the right barrel with a patched round ball and the left with 9-00 buck ahead of 3 Drams of Dupont 3 F black.

I heard him coming and he and I saw each other at the same time while he was in mid jump. He hit the ground and jumped turning ninety degrees to my right at 32 steps. I swung like I was shooting quail and gave him the right barrel. Lost him in the brush and smoke but a few seconds later he wobbled out and tipped over about 40 yards away. Dead when I got to him. The ball had passed through the shoulders making a large hole in the lungs. He scored 121 points Boone & Crockett. Nine more inches/points and he would have made the book. Not too bad for my first Blacktail.

Sorry, but I just don't seem to have many pictures of game taken with my Parkers. Hope to cure that problem.
