Hello Edmund. You may remember my father Stan Porter and I from the Bayou Club. Sounds like you are having a wonderful hunt. I took my Parker D grade 10 ga choked
.039 and .049 to the Bayou club and in mid November and did well on those long passing shots, but had a hard time with the Teal and those chokes. I am impressed you can hit the quail with the 28 choked F/F - great shooting. Shoot well and stay safe.

I remember your father well.We both served on The Bayou Club Board.I am glad things go well for you.I am shooting a GHE 16 today,full and modified.As to the quail,I used the Spread Shot.I must say that the shot did not spread enough for some or maybe they were flying too low or maybe too slow.Could have been too high as well,Possibly too fast.

Well I hope the ducks cooperated and succumbed to the 16. Sounds like you have a wonderful collection of Parkers and you shoot them. I am just starting my collection but intend to have only guns I am willing to shoot. You may recall a print at the Bayou Club of my Dad in a blind. I had that print recreated on an A1 repro. My father passed away last year but he will be remembered on this gun for generations to come. You can see Gournet's work at .

Very impressive, nice job!

Agreed. Very impressive. The gallery on his website has beautiful examples of the engraver's art - and all hand work. Thanks for the post.

Covers many of my excuses. Here, the wind gusts are also problematic.

Cheers,

Gusts are a great problem as well.They always hit after I have pulled the trigger.
