[Harold Pickens]

I'm ready to take my punishment for a non-Parker hunt--40 lashes with a computer cord, but I had a great hunt this morning and just thought I'd share it. I used the venerable old 870 that I worked very hard to buy in high school by baling hay for the local dairy farmers. I grew up very poor( I didn't know it then), and it was the first gun I ever bought. I only use it now for turkeys. I went out to my farm this morning, and it took only 15 minutes to call in this bad boy. His beard actually measures 15 1/2 " to the end of the longest beard strands--by far the longest beard I've ever taken! It was my first time to hunt this season as I was at the Southern last week. The 870 is from the early
1960's, at least its not black plastic.
