Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

The luckiest shot I ever made on a grouse was this one. I asked Scott Kittredge to mount it for me and he did a really nice job.
Before and after pics. Taken with Rr. Admiral Thomas Perry's 20 gauge 28" Damascus DH.
I was hunting with Cam and my brother-in-law, Jamie. Jamie was out of sight in the alders over a rise from me when I heard two shots and a loud 'expletive' and this grouse came up out of the alders with its afterburners on at about 35 - 40 yards and high. I naturally swung on the bird and touched the rear trigger and the bird folded and plummeted.
Scott told me there were no pellet holes in the bird but there was a sharp bruise at the base of its skull. A lucky shot to be sure!
Just like a little chip off a clay target.... I'll take it!
