Hello Battue, glad to see you had better luck than me. Was romping around up in Allegheny today looking for grouse to no avail. Just a thought but Merlot seems to be a good fit for a Parker.
Re: South Dakota tune up..... - 10/30/21
Soon as I get back from SD we are going to see if we can find some Grouse...
Couldn't get out till late today, but that was 3 hours of walking for two flushes and one shot.... But Merlot worked those two hard...both runners that had been out for a week or two...Good day.
Grouse....next year, Lord willing, I'm going to think hard on Maine or Wisconsin..I don't really care to kill more than a few...but I do care about getting into many..

Good boy, Merlot! That dog has a ton of heart and hunting drive. I hope South Dakota treats you boys well!!!! We may take Rocky up there next year.
Re: South Dakota tune up..... - 10/31/21
Well, then let's coordinate it so we both are there at the same time...

Battue,
Appears you were caring a Parker Brothers 20 gauge? Am I correct?

Re: South Dakota tune up..... - 10/31/21
Doc...it would be a 16 gauge, on the regular 16 gauge frame..Would like to find one on the 1-correction: or is that an O-frame. However, it still carries quick..

Attaboy Merlot!

I would sure like that! We sure had fun last time. Is Hig going to make the trip?
Re: South Dakota tune up..... - 11/02/21
Let's see how it works out...
Yes, he is going....he is too small to put in a kennel, so he will have a lot of kennel time during the rides. Will let him out for short hikes while there, and let him play big dog...Hope he doesn't bump into a Rooster that scares the shiiit out of him.
