This should be interesting......
I've been invited to go on an afternoon duck hunt tomorrow at the Balmoral Club over in Ontario. Supposed to be super swanky, members only type of deal. Apparently they're taking their cues from the old time California small bore clubs and have a 20 gauge only rule. I hate the idea of that obviously, but I hated to turn down the invite just because of that fact.
I literally own one gun that might be up to the task, sadly isn't a Parker. It's a 30 inch LC Smith field grade 20 gauge. In good shape, had a thin recoil pad on it that was in rough shape. Wish I hadn't taken it off now though, because she's still bare butted. I'd never gotten around to having a new one installed. Have to dig around at home and see if I can't come up with some kind of butt treatment here at the last minute.
It's supposed to be a high of 25 degrees with a 25-30 mph wind and some blowing snow. Could be a prime day, if the toy shotgun doesn't hold me back.......
