Fred, that is a beautiful Parker. Everything is green as a gourd here and the only sunflowers that are dry and attractive to dove are the ones that were sprayed. Another friend burned a wheat field and that left the kernals lying on the ground and even they are being ignored.
Shot again yesterday wih the same Parker with the same results. I had a soybean field to my back and the first three dove shot fell into it. They fell close to the edge and I never took my eye off the spot, but they were never found. After that I just didn't shoot any behind me and was careful not to let the incommers get to close because of carryover. We will shoot that field again Sunday.
I have wanted to shoot the VH 28 gauge, but can't keep my hands off Papa's 20 gauge.
