Coincidentally, mine is in the 200XXX range. Not my favorite engraving years, but the guns are well made and balanced as per the Parker magic formula.

Garry it occured to me that it is the dogs and people we are with not the bag that really matters. I thought of that while taking a late afternoon break on a stump in Maine. I had spent the day with my sons and granddaughter hunting grouse and woodcock. We had a few birds and a lot more empty shells but also a perfect October day and each others company. The dogs are not critical, we just think they are.

Daniel, I could not imagine it said any better. To be out, regardless of the bag, is what makes for memories. Those late afternoon breaks can be the times we see things most clearly. (BTW, you are so right about the dogs. They just like going with us, and never a grudge was held by a bird dog of mine.)

Garry,
Thanks for sharing the nice pictures and story. I have such great memories as a young man growing up hunting. I remember my mom saying I would never get a girlfriend, he likes the woods to much Now I am getting those memories again, its much more relaxing this year because I am getting more used to having a hunting dog. Next in line is grandkids, I can't wait.
