Default Parkers in the field

#1 Mark O., his dog Radar, and a Fox HE in the Parker Blind....
#2 A little proof........Destry was there...my camera wasn't working in the field so no field shots of the Swamp Angel...I regret.
#3 Me with the hammer grade 3 10 bore and my dog Dash and an obscured mallard.
#4 Couple of mallards and the grade 3 10
#5 Dash with a nice male Gadwall. Radar and Mark in background. It has been 15 years since I shot a nice gray duck. We don't get very many in Michigan. Might shoot one every few years. This one may go to the taxidermist.

Kurt,

I appreciate the first photo but I was shooting a beautifully restored first year (1906) AH Fox A Grade with 32" barrels. It came to me via Hausmann's Hidden Hollow where another member talked the dealer down, down, down in price. That member then passed on her due to her IC and Mod chokes (constrictions). It seems no one but me appreciates long barrels and open chokes! Anyway, she is a good companion to my pair of HE's. Yesterday her 7lb 11 oz came up and swung easily to drop a pair of Mallards swinging past the decoys.

My Fox's are the redheads of my guns. Parkers are of course the blonds that everyone desires...

Radar doesn't much care what I shoot so long as he gets a good retrieve.

Mark

We got mighty relaxed that evening as I recall. That bottle of Chesapeake whiskey was empty when it was over. *wink*

A little off topic, but...
How many names do we use for ducks?

Mallards - Greenheads, Suzies
Gadwall - Gray duck
Widgeon - Baldpate
Scaup - Bluebills, Blackjacks
Pintails - Bull Sprig
Merganser - Sawbill

Others?

Coots - Bluepeter or Mud Hen

Widgeon - Slick Heads

Greater Bluebill - Broadbill

Ringnecks - Blackjacks

Drake Canvasback - Bulls

Mergansers - Hairy Heads

Buffleheads - Dippers

These are all names I've heard used regularly in various parts of the country.

In Cajun Country mallards are French Ducks, coots are poule du, bluebills are do gris, most ducks down there have their own french name.
