I was thinking you oughtta plunk one with your 28 I’ve got a friend that lives here that’s plunked two of the swans down in North Carolina both times one shot from a Parker 28

That's the plan Craig. The next one will hopefully be with a new to me 32" 20 Sterly and hopefully the 28 is next. Might have to wait until the fall/winter season though.

My friend with the 28’s on swans picked up an Ithaca NID 20 gauge 3” with 32” vent rib barrels last week he said its choked pretty tight . He laughs at me playing with 10’s and told me this 20 would be his turkey gun . You oughtta give consideration to the 28 with buckshot and or slugs for a deer this coming fall . I’ll carry my one and only Parker 28 out again all be it in a gunsock until I’m situated in the tree . I’ll have a home cast slug in one barrel and hand loaded buckshot in the other .

I would love to try a slug in my 28's Craig but they are both choked F/F, M/F respectively so I'm not sure what kind of accuracy I could achieve with them. I've never fooled with loading slugs and they are rare on the shelves in stores.
How is your 28 choked?

As far as buckshot, they are not legal here in MD where I hunt.

Mines full and full . I got about a two inch group for three shots from the right barrel at 25 yards within an inch or so of point of aim . The left barrel grouped almost as well but not that close to point of aim . I loaded #1 , #2 and #3 buckshot for the 28 and they did okay at 25 yards . So if I have it out it’s loaded with a slug in the right and buck in the left all shots to be thirty yards or less . I’ve got a bunch of the Gactory loaded Brenneke slugs also but I don’t think I’ve tried them yet . They’re a bit pricey at about $2 a shot dealer cost , but I got ten boxes that oughtta last my lifetime .

These were the home cast 28 slugs at 25 yards . I did forget to write on the label that I fill the cavity in the bottom of the slug with hot melt glue or wax , reason being it keeps the 410 card wads and or the 28 gauge CB wad from becoming caught in the bottom of the slug messing with what little accuracy one gets .

My three buck loads .
