Good Work! Not many guys can say they've shot any live game with an 8 gauge Parker and that's for sure.

deer taken care of in the ice water soaking.been cold here for miss. but today warmed up seen a few mosquitoes out. thanksfellas for all the incouragement i got on this hunt.was a dream come true i had been wanting to kill a deer with the 8 ga parker for a while. i know i stated i would post pictures i dont know what i did wrong but no pictures.maybe i can get my daughter to post them in a coupla days. there was 8 pellets in deer. 3 of them were in heart and lung area. 4 of them in thestomack area. 1 in the back leg. the gun has 26 inch barrels that are stub twist with no choke.the shell used was loaded by tom armbrust. it was a 3 1/4 in winchester hull. powder used i do not know. 24 00 buck in shell withspecial wad. also had buffer in the load with buckshot. shell was roll crimped.this load patterns very well with a gun with choke in it. you 10 ga boys get your guns out and load you up some oo buck or even some 000 buck and get after them deer . bound to be some more 8 ga fellas out there too get them closet queens out and put them to work. ha. calvin your old twist or damascus barrel gun will do ok with the buckshot loads 1 1/4of weight in arond 8 pound guns in heavyier guns the loads could be increased.. thanks fellas again your all a bunch of swell guys. boy if i only had one of those 40 in barrelsparker s with 4 inch chambers. charlie

I've always wanted an 8 gauge, but two things have stopped me. One is money and the other is that in Kentucky the only thing you can legally take with an 8 gauge is a clay pigeon.
