Last close call was with Big bore, his brother Rob..on the south side of Kwatna bay when a HUGE mom a grizzlies and her 2 2 year old juvenile delinquents decided to charge the 3 of us...I never felt under gunned with the shotgun...
In practice I could separate a tree big round as my thigh with 2 shots...

Glad you made it out, between the grizzlies and all the native troubles you have, lucky one of them didn't get you. You must be a master military tactician to make it out alive.

Nah, Steven is just a serious, highly experienced bushman and you could learn a lot by reading his posts carefully.

My brother still has the original rifle.
I wasn’t alive yet in ‘65 (I’m a ‘68 model), but I bought my first gun as a teen at Harvs Outdoor in Kelowna. It was a 1911 built Winchester 1894 in .30 WCF. I still have that gun in my safe, along with 2 Henrys and 2 Marlins. I don’t shoot the old ‘94 anymore, but I’ll never sell it.

Doubt it...I only learn from the likes of Dick Proenneke(spelling) and Mr Shelton but not from Rupp the pupp.

Pretty ignorant mosin if serious. Could learn a lot from people if you just listen with open ears.
