How many parkers in this photo?

Came across this on Ebay. Thought it was darn interesting to say the least.

Circa 1924 if I read it correctly.

Tom,

I don't think there are any Parkers in that picture. That is a great picture.

How many dead grouse in the picture? Holy crap, that a lot of grouse.

reread the caption. Photo was taken in the early 1900's. Number of grouse in the photo is 24. Now, that is a good day. PS. I think there is a few Trojans and SW in that photo. Lots of snap on forearms.

Caption? I can't see any caption. If the picture was taken in the early 1900's it might be a little early for Trojans. I believe the first was introduced in 1912. No Trojans, no Parkers. One bolt action someting.

First shotgun under the front bumper might be a Mauser converted after WW1 to shotgun--or what looks like a bolt handle for it might also be part of the tie rod linkage?? My "WAG" on the next 5- all field grade 12 with 28 or 30 barrels, no forearm release mechanisms shown. I think Nos. 1 and 2 (from left to right) are leFever Nitro Specials, No. 3 a AH Fox Sterlingworth, No 4 another Nitro Special and No. 5 either a Smith or maybe a Baker-just my guess.

The two dogs are sure clean, no mud or burrs after all those birds (wow, what a daily limit back then) Prairie Chickens and Sage grouse, but no pheasants or ducks shown- my guess, they were hunting Nebraska or Kansas or South Dakota wheat fields in the early October days of the seasons back then- also, the passenger side of the (Ford Model A?) is open, but none of the six gunners are in evidence- who took the foto??

Looks to be a '30 or '31 Ford Victoria two-door with the flying quail radiator cap ornament.

A "Flying Quail" ornament, thanks Dean- I'll add that one to my favorite- the "Doughtnut Pusher" Lady with Ring outstretched on a Packard-what's your take on the shotguns?

When did spokes start to be replaced with solid wheels? I know...I know I am drifting of topic here. Just thought I would ask...The late 30,s?
