Oh. I thought the topic was "work horse gun for cruising". Which
implies we were talking about guns that are for utility purposes. I
have a shotgun for bears, I consider it to have a purpose, to fill a
need. I have a little .22 for birding, so it serves a purpose also.

A good shotgun is pretty much a necessity in the bush. Not because of
human predators, but because sometimes a bear just doesn't understand
shoo....because a nice wolf ruff will do wonders for a good parka....
because a Moose helps you eat thru the winter without buying the $4.99
a pound green hamburger!

So I was merely wondering why you would need a 'workhorse' gun, not
trying to offend your pistol packin' selves!

And so far I've haven't been shown a need for gun, unless it's a flare
gun or spear gun or a glue gun!

and, ah... this thread... ahem.... ah... no offense... but calling the
people in this thread 'normal' is a little stretch of the imagination,
wouldn't you say? After all, you, BC, Overproof and Capt. Kneel are
all involved in the conversation!

ask why one ''needs'' a gun? Aren't we allowed to own things unless

The topic is rarely about the 'Subject Header' for more than 3 posts,
which implies you are a newbie.

What do load the shotgun with for bears? What birds do you shoot?

And in the sticks.

And where exactly have you sailed so far?

Double odd and sabot slugs. First round a double 00 followed by a Sabot and
another double 00.. repeat until mag is full.

They shoot varieties of geese, ducks, the odd swan.... Ruffed and Spruce
grouse as well as Ptarmigan


ducks Shotgun or .22?

Either.....

mostly ptarmigan, but crane is a favorite...

Wolverine Fur is far superior to "skanky" vermin fur like coyote!
Wolf would be far superior to coyote. Fox is excellent ... Musk Ox is
exceptional.

But Wolverine fur does not frost up and so is the choice of knowledgeable
bushmen. That is why true parkas will always have Wolverine Fur Trim.......

My coyote fur doesn't frost up....and it's way softer than wolf (and

Pedigree...)
