I don't think any Parker shooter got up every day with the object of killing every last bird. This whole subject is a lot more complicated then folks realize or really even want to know. Tell me exactly what we would be doing with all those birds and bison today? One thing we wouldn't be doing is producing any grain in the Midwest and plains states. What then would we be eating? Had the Parker or Sharps been never invented it would have made no difference.
