If grouse, woodcock and trout are your life...

I would love to dove hunt. And while I've been reading these responses, I think the following:

Sitting in a tree waiting for a deer to walk by sure doesn't sound like hunting (unless you're scouting and hunting a particular deer)

Walking looking for birds isn't really hunting, the dog is surely hunting for you

Shooting hogs from a helicopter isn't hunting

Shooting black bears over bait is most certainly not hunting

Shooting ducks from a blind isn't hunting since they were probably going to land anyways

The point is we can criticize any form of hunting and it's rather pointless. Do what you LOVE, but do it with a Parker : ) That being said, I might just go break in my 16g Trojan (choked F/F) doing some squirrel HUNTING this weekend.

Great points Andy. Yes I have changed my mind, and will once again beg forgiveness from my fellow Parker shooters, Stan and Reggie--matter of fact, I will buy you a drink if we ever meet up.
Stan, my little DHE 16 st grip O frame came out of Anderson hardware in Atlanta, Ga.--26" cyl/mod, had to be somebodies quail gun.

Harold just sell me the little straight grip and we will be all good.

Good luck Reggie. I tried getting that away from him several years ago. He once told me he didn't shoot it well IIRC. I need a grade 3 16. I foolishly traded a nice Damascus gun for a 30 inch A grade Fox. The Fox was a nice gun but I didn't shoot it much and sold it to a friend. Now I don't have either of them
