Wow, Phil. That’s a beautiful example of Parker engraving. Congratulations.

Very little deciduous in NL...mostly stunted conifer

This thread is awesome, and many congrats to the winner, what a setter!


I know the competition is over, but this afternoon I just noticed the only Parker engraving of a Setter retrieving on my guns! And a duck at that!! Very early $125 grade lifter short 10. The engraving is on the trigger bow. Awful photography I know, time and resources were limited today!

Did Chris mention Bog holes??? One minute I’m looking at the back of Chris’s bird vest the next minute at his boots.

Those are grown over cellar holes of the first settlers, but they are amazingly huge when you think you’re kicking through a blackberry patch and you disappear into one.

Old Hemlock Osthaus had a knack for finding the cellar hole with the most accumulation of decades of decaying muck in it - and the amount he got on him was inversely proportional to the distance to running water to clean him off in

i've always wanted to hunt an old homestead like that ,must be like finding treasure ....nothing like that up here
