Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Lovely SD Weather...and Roosters
Just back to SC after another fun pheasant trip to South Dakota. While bird numbers were down a bit in our area and the weather was atrocious, we actually did well mostly due to our dogs, not our wing shooting ability. We hunted in rain, sleet, frozen ice pellets and snow all blowing steady 20-40 with gusts to 50. No idea how long and wide the scent cone of a rooster is in that kind of wind but it can’t be more than 10 feet- probably less.

3. Griffs “Gunny” and “Arcas” with rooster on one of the nice weather days!
4. Find the hiding pheasant! “Arcas” searched for this bird and pointed it in a cut cornfield about 500 yards from where it was shot over a cat tail slough. It was alive and trying to hide. Hint: look for the tail feathers.

It appears you had good prairie weather -- never a dull moment. Dogs make all the difference, don't they? Glad you had a good hunt.
