Only if they would make a worthy mount.

Hmmmm, maybe I could invite myself along?

Anytime, Dave.

And from another friend. A trap range with a view:

No pesky horizon to lose the target at that trap field.. Wow what a view.

Used to shoot clays in Oregon that way. You run out of gun long before the clay hits the ground. Fun Fun.

So a couple of us were talking and mentioning between ourselves that the forum has been a bit lacking and decided that it needed some content that was fun, interesting and Parker gun or hunting/collecting related. So here is an attempt and I'm glad to see people have participated.

The balance is to write something interesting without narcissistic ramblings and without mundane comments that nobody cares about. Efforts from others are always appreciated. Post photos.

How about Quail and Chachalaca, Ortalis vetula, in the Rio Grande Valley Bruce?

I would strongly advise staying north of what passes for an international border however.

Absolutely Drew! In fact, several of us are talking about exactly that, and hunting the AZ Patagonia highlands and around Globe in Jan or Feb. Quail, chachalaca and chupacabre. Warmer there than in Alaska, Rich!

I'm in brother! Quail season goes to the end of Jan. in AZ; I believe until the end of Feb in TX.
AZ G&F has yet to establish a Chupacabre season.
