    Late October, N. Alberta hunting a fence line under the guidance of my father. I was 10 years old and hunting with a kid size wooden bow. Spotted a rabbit at 10-15 feet. One and done. Hooked for life. Still have the picture.

    Stone sheep 7 yards gun
    The best we could figure is they never seen people before. No camo either
    Sheep are not that tough. Grizzlies are. Grizzlies eat what sheep eat, plus they eat sheep

    That's exactly what I figured with my goat.
    Just odd, and unbelievable, but true.

    I had to shoot a black bear one time with a shotgun where I had to rotate my shoulder so he wouldn't touch the barrel.

    Oh yeah?

    Back in 1972, when us west coast trollers could basically keep anything that came
    over the rail.... 12 year old me used the trusty (and rusty) 12 gauge to 'convince' the
    "big" halibut to come aboard

    pretty standard operation, my brother (11) held leader and I leaned over the stern rail and snuggled the
    barrel up nice n tight .....boom!

    #6's hit target, butt end hits chin

    shotgun lives now on bajo reef.......

    Those were the days, kids with guns

    probably considered child abuse nowadays

    Somehow we made it......
