Nova Scotian friends Terry Smith and Lisa Godin joined Tenth Legion partner Robb Cotiaux and I for an all Parker hunt. They got interested in hunting turkey with a Parker after watching Mike Franzen's Parker Pages promo clips.

Lisa's tom fell to an 1878 lifter with 28" barrels, Terry used my "Space Aged Parker" an 1880 lifter with 32" twist barrels, brought back to life by Mike Franzen who graciously sold it to me. Robb was toting his first Parker, an 1883 top lever 12. He missed a tom after Lisa killed hers so he'll have to wait until fall to christen it. Terry and Lisa finished their awesome Parker turkey hunt with a double double, both shooting this big tom as he strutted into the decoys!

Next to last day in Maine June 2nd guides hunt.... a three hour duel with this old tom couldn't stand the site of a half strut Jake decoy. The Space Aged Parker barked one final smokey boom
