Monday 10/1 is the NH upland opener and I will be kicking the brush with one of my Parkers...(only want to take one at a time since I have a soft top Jeep and would be worried, leaving one in it while I hunted...)
Haven't decided which 20 ga to take yet, the Trojan or the Repro, but on Monday morning my hand will reach into my safe and pull out one or the other
I will be hunting public lands on stocked birds (NH WMA)...never done this before so it may be something of an eye opener if hoards of others are out there as well. I have been rained on by 7 1/2's before and it was kinda scary...so we will be decked out in hunter orange galore!
Anyway, gonna give it a shot (pun intended) and will post on what kind of experience it was.
If anything, it will be a great day outdoors on a beautiful, Fall day in New Hampshire...
My girlfriend will be tagging along as a water bearer, photographer and bush kicker (she doesn't know this yet)
I don't have a dog at the moment so she will have to suffice...
I hope she doesn't mind a collar and bell!
I will post pics whether I'm successful or not just to record the day with digital memories of a Parker Gun's return to the field.
The Trojan was my girlfriend's Father's gun and she has no idea when it was last used for hunting...the Reproduction may well have never been in the field so this may be her hunting debut!
Next year, I hope to have a gun dog along...either a Brittany or a Springer.
I think I'll go out to the safe and fondle my Parkers...maybe one of them will speak to me!
Parker Trojan hits the field again...
