Hunting with a 34” 3 frame 12ga

[Dollar Grade]

I was fortunate to acquire a DHE 12ga 34” 3 frame 12 gauge a few months ago. It is choked 0.040” in each bore with choke tapers at 4.5” and 5”. It tips the scales at a comfortable 9lbs. I have enjoyed several waterfowl hunts with it this fall. I have been shooting Kent Bismuth #5. Photo dump of several hunts. Where do you think Mr. Dickens hunted with this gun? Horicon Marsh? Like all the old Parkers, I wish it could tell its life story.

You better measure those barrel walls, they look a little thin! Bo Whoopie don't have anything on that one!

You have a wonderful Parker for waterfowl, and a rare one at that. Thank you for sharing your gun and your hunts!

Wow, what a great post! Awesome gun, dog and pics - extra nice touch with a "Southerlie" in the bag!!

Very cool pictures. Especially the long tail. Where were you hunting?

There are a lot of Old Squaw on Lake Huron and Saginaw Bay. This particular hunt was between Port Huron and Lexington on Lake Huron. A lot of guides are going after these birds as they are plentiful and decoy really well. There is also a 6 bird limit. There are some areas that see better for the trophy male birds.

That is one helluva great Parker!

Congratulations!!

Interesting letter Kurt in that it calls for a 1/16" muzzle thickness and "stock must be curly and handsome or won't take it". Congrats on a great gun and some fine hunting !

Great dog, great birds, and a great gun!

Where is the balance point with those long barrels?

Kurt's a good guy to hunt with, and he makes a darn good series of duck calls
