Yesterday I waited until the cool of the day and went out for a quick bird hunt in NY for pheasant & woodcock. I like to take the Parker out occasionally so it's not accused of being a safe queen and I'll admit that the 1913 VH 12 ga. is probably not the best for uplanding on woodcock with its tight chokes and it's probably a good thing I missed the only bird I saw that afternoon. We did manage our limit on a couple pheasant that "held" for us.
