Very nice pics there Pops. If you do half as well with a Parker as you do with the camera then I don't have to worry about you going hungry.

I love to watch waterfowl but I haven't hunted them since the lead shot ban either. We would get some Red Heads in Manitoba each fall. The Grouse hunting along with the Huns is what I was after most. I had a GSP named Sturm and his first ever point was on a Hun in Manitoba.

Yep, I favor upland birds as well. If it took me as many shotshells to get one duck as it does clicks of the shutter to get one good duck image, the cost per pound of duck meat would be beyond reach. But I do get to amuse myself year round this way.

Cheers,
Jack

I never really cared for the taste of waterfowl and only hunted them when someone was along that would use them. The only upland bird I couldn't eat was a Sharptail I shot in The Pas northern Maintoba. Even the Black Lab wouldn't eat the thing. Never shot another one.

Both are pretty heavy dark meat. Should you happen to ever shoot another sharptail or have any dark meat fowl, try this recipe. You might change your mind.
