I try to only shoot the Eurasians, as they are an invasive specie, but accidentally shot one mourning dove.
The Eurasians taste the same, and are bigger. Kind of a win/win. |

No, it's a 12.
Interesting history with this gun, it was purchased by a Mr. CD Smith, a sportsman from Albany Georgia in 1905 for $200.00, plus $25.00 for ejectors. Was sent back to Parker to be restored in 1909. Dents removed, clean, rebrown, recheck, retighten the action, and clean up repair the action and ejectors. Price of restoration: $13.50 Inflation index? |

Parker Bros. evidently had someone who knew how to do checkering.

That's a heck of a gun, and some darned nice shooting, too!

Eleven straight is a pipe dream for me. Great shooting! Nice BHE.
