True story. Once Upon a Time, I went to Nome Alaska, for two months.
I did a Grizzly bear hunt for about 25 days and spent the rest of the time in Nome.

I took my 44 Mag Mountain Gun. I took several rounds of Speer CCI shotshells for ptarmigan, several rounds of Garrett 44 Mag ammo and 6 rounds of Speer 200 gr short barreled loads.

When in Nome I had the Speer 200gr ammo in my gun.

I figured after the first 6 rounds fired, anybody that was still alive, would be hiding behind something. I would be reloading with the Garretts...

However, I discovered that the people of Nome, especially the Native Alaskans, what lower 48ers call Eskimos, were most friendly, and most fun to be around.

This was one of the most fun hunts/trips I have ever been on.

So the only shots I fired were at ptarmigian...
And with the rifle 2 red fox.

PS. I had a 38 Special S&W Bodyguard in my front pocket 100% of the time as well....

Doesn't Everybody???


PSS. I stopped off on the way home and spent 3 weeks in Anchorage with a buddy. I have been to Alaska several times, I like it.
Everybody I have met there have been Good People...
