Them #2 frame Parkers do make a good duck gun. I've been shooting a 32 inch DHE on that frame for about 8 years now, have drug the poor old gun coast to coast and even across the ocean a time or two.
This season it will get a much deserved break though. I've stepped up the ladder, finally got a #3 frame DHE with 34 inch barrels. It will get it's first airing (in my hands) on fowl come Saturday morning. I spoke with my Canadian friend this evening, his expression was that the lake was absolutely "polluted" with ducks. Hopefully I'll get a few shots to test it out, I've got plenty of cartridges.

P.S. Yes boys, I know you're all sick of hearing me talk about "The Swamp Angel", but dammit, I chased her for two years so I deserve to brag a little. I've never chased a woman as hard as I chased that gun.
