1st bird taken on the wing, a passing mallard, age 16, a borrowed Trojan 12, pulled both triggers by mistake, knocked me over, bird fell too, no damage to the gun. 2nd bird, a cock pheasant, over our English setter, used Dad's LC Smith Ideal Grade 12 -- I still have and treasure that gun. Then somehow 50 years went by and the gun cabinet filled to overflowing with a variety guns and many fond memories. Only one Parker though -- just purchased it this year -- a nice 16 ga Damascus 0 frame GH. It was my go to upland bird gun this season until recently. My latest obsession is hunting with and shooting black powder out of a 9.2 lb 30" Damascus 10 gauge A grade H&R 1882. I love 'em all -- can't see myself settling down any time soon.
