Default Morning in the popple

Hello everyone. I'm new to the board, as well as being a new Parker owner, so I thought I would introduce myself by posting a picture of my "new" Parker and the first bird I've taken with her.

I had a chance to take her out to a popple (or poplar to those in the rest of the country) thicket in northern Wisconsin last weekend, and had a little luck. Loads of 3 drams of FFg and 1 1/8 oz. of 7 1/2 pattern well, and did the trick on this morning.

The 12 ga. Parker is a grade G hammer gun, with 30 inch damascus barrels, #1 frame, with a serial number of 45,xxx, made in 1885.

Sorry for the low resolution of the picture, but unfortunately the only camera I had on me at the time was my cell phone.

I've greatly enjoyed browsing the board till now, and hopefully I'll have more pictures to post in the future.

I just returned from the land of the popple. I love it up there in October. Here's a shot of some popple around one of the old iron mines in Itasca County, MN.
