I think everyone who has been on this site for any period of time knows the at I enjoy crow hunting and find it a great way to get a lot of wing shooting on live game with Parker doubles.
I have strayed off the path, shot and sold a Fox Sterlingworth, a Baker, a Stevens an now have a couple of Remingtons that I enjoy.
There is a lot of history in the old doubles, some day perhaps I'll have an Ithaca or a Lefever. They are all interesting to me in their own way. Some are better than others.
The Remington 1900 is not a Parker, it is not as finely built, but it sure was a bargain and it sure shoots well for me and I like it. Owning and shooting a double such as the 1900 makes me realize and appreciate the care and quality that went into a Trojan, and it's easy to forget about the quality in a Trojan when it is contrasted against V's through A's on this site.
This site is good way to learn about Parkers, other doubles and even something about hunting (see hunting with Parker forum).
Hunting may not be about the kill but without the kill there is no hunt. None of us need to shoot an animal for subsistence. Eating what you shoot does not justify a kill. Many species are and have been killed because they are a predator and or a nuisance. Crows fall into both categories. They are prolific and they are managed with seasons and regulations. I enjoy shooting them, obviously you do not.
Ed, I have no idea what motivates you to make the posts that you do and in the manner that you do. You write in a manner as if you are illiterate but I am pretty sure you are not. An attempt at humor I guess but often it is using humor to mask an attack on another. I don't appreciate that and frankly I think you ruined a good thread on a "find" that I have enjoyed and shared with others.
I don't think anti-hunting sentiment has a place in the PGCA forums any more than anti-gun sentiment has here. To me it seems you enjoy stirring a pot, guess what so do I at times, but I know this is not the place for it.
