hunting with a parker

[Dean Romig]

I carried my 28 ga. VHE F/F all weekend and never took out the 12. I had patterned the 28 at thirty yards with 3/4 oz # 7 1/2 and I'm very confident it would have done the job, but alas . . .

Larry, that's a good pic for the POM.

Eight gauge with about 2 1/2 ounces of mixed #6 and #7 1/2. It isn't like they all "come in" and you don't have to walk that far if you know your territory. I am a poor one to give advice, since I have never killed a turkey with anything other than an asparagus knife, but I know what guns I like. Doctor Dave Rozier's article in the DGJ describes his success with Parkers .410 to 10 in the killing or turkeys. I'm just disappointed that he didn't extend his experience to eight gauges. Maybe someone would give us a reference to Dr. Dave's article.

Danny and I got back from turkey hunting in New Hampshire today.I have wanted to hunt turkey with a Parker for a long while.Thanks to our gracious hosts Bob Fabian and his wife we had a great time They treated us like"family' and cooked a fabulous meal last evening of the most wonderful venison steak I have ever eaten.We hunted this am and were unsuccessful although I had a hen within 20 feet of me and she was talkin up a storm.I think I,m hooked on this turkey hunting!As if I need another vice...My Parker of choice was an 1890 NH 10 gauge loaded with copper plated 4's Here,s a couple quick pictures of Danny and Bob
