I'm probably younger than most here, at 30 years old. I started upland hunting in 2011 and bought my first dog in 2013. Right from the get go I wanted a Parker.
The quote Dean has:
"I'm a Setter man.
Not because I think they're better than the other breeds,
but because I'm a romantic - stuck on tradition - and to me,
a Setter just "belongs" in the grouse picture."
IMO you can just as easily replace Setter with Parker.. You never see any old upland art with a synthetic stocked auto loader. There is something about walking up to a setter on point, carrying a 120 year old Parker that's hard to beat.
