Default Parker and pheasants

Parker GH 16 Damascus and 2 nice cockbirds taken in Ohio yesterday. Gun is from mid 1890s. Willie girl did a nice job on these birds that ran out from under every point.

Good job, Willie! Pheasants rarely play fair.

I never put Gracie on pheasants. I had heard their antics will spoil a good grouse and woodcock dog.

Harold, are those wild birds or pen-raised preserve birds?
