What are your most memorable hunts with a Parker?

[Dean Hanson]

I will only have one... this year. After acquiring Parkers for my brother and myself this year, we choose mid November to test our skills without having to "guide" others. Turns out I was on target for the weekend, much to his enjoyment. He never got a good shot, and doesn't care. It was just him and I, two VH 16's and Northern Wisconsin.

A hunt near Forest City ,Maine with my two dogs---Belle and Meg----with Lance Wheaton and Tom Wooden several years ago.

We hit a flight that had come in during the night, the limit of woodcock was 3 per person, around 10 am I asked ,"How many birds do we have?". Tom said none, Lance said one and I said seven. We broke up and I had not walked more than 100 feet when Meg went on point, I flushed the bird and said to the others---"We are all Done !"

We still talk about that hunt. I had my PHE -24"--28 gauge along with the best two, woodcock and grouse, Brits I ever owned---Meg & Belle

I had great hunts with those two dogs and when I retired from the Board , the PGCA gave me an oil panting of them of which I enjoy on a daily basis.
