You know, you will be needing that double barrel sooner than later. Best get to looking fast!

Was meaning to hit you up about that actually, local store has a Parker bros 12 gauge sxs for sale for $800, everything seems nice and tight. Pique your interest or would you pass?

Parkers come in a gazillion configurations. Some are much better and more expensive than others. Parker fans are legion and zelots somewhere someone can tell you much more than I. Certianly they make quality guns, but, a rule, American doubles tend to be heavy and a bit cumbersome for that they are, and currently overpriced in my opinion. I'd look for something German (Merkel or Sauer among others), or English ('cuz they're the best ). Some excellent newish to new Spanish guns as well.

You might need two (at least). One for upland, one for lowland. And then probably back ups for each just in case you drop one overboard or drive over it, and well, a few others, just to be safe...

Just come visit and we'll go to Fieldsport & get you a quality double at a good price that fits.

I don't think you should be trusted to do this solo.

The door was just opened, Will. RUN, don't walk, through it!
Fit - more important that make and model.

Save all your glass bottles before the move. You paid a .05 deposit on them in MA but you get a .10 refund in MI. You’re going to be rich! RICH!

Seriously would love to do that.

Baldwin and the Pere Marquette for lake run steelhead and salmon. That river is high on the list of my top 5 favorite places I have ever fished.

I lived in GRR for 4 months before I moved to CO many moons ago. It was springtime, and I spent basically every non-working moment chasing Steelhead. I’m sure things have changed in 25 years but outside of the rapids downtown (which is quite an experience) and a couple other hotspots within an hour of town, I rarely ran into anyone else.

The Hex hatch (big giant mayfly that hatches in the middle of the night) is a pretty unique experience.

Ruffs and woodcock.

Pasties (the ones you eat not wear, you gutter minds) are a regional delight up north.

We'll get you hooked on rough fishing for slab smallies too.

Since you fancy yourself as an analyst, I see this move as being inefficient.
But good luck anyway.
Better start reading Jim Harrison.

Hooked = addicted
Rough fish = any fish that isn't a walleye (or specific target species to some weirdos lol)
Slab = big
Smallies = smallmouth bass

As a Colorado boy who moved to the Midwest for almost 4 years in his prime…..I’m still not sure why I did that. Did meet some awesome peeps but other than that…..pew, pew,pew. Move west young man.
