thank you for sharing this; your Dad was, no IS, a wonderful man. you have all been so blessed to have him. I am sad for your loss, but such a man and such a life are a cause for great JOY.

you know it is probably admitting to a sickness, but i can no longer tell my gun needs from my gun wants....maybe i never could or i wouldn't have to stand up in this Guns Anonymous meeting and say "my name is cable and i have a problem"

great story and very nice double!

They sure are tasty in potpie.

i agree, i have eaten them and they are tasty, just more like beef maybe than chicken, if i remember correctly.....been a long time

they dont taste like chicken.

i beleive the 67 mm is the old 2 5/8" shell; and like 86er says it is okay in the 2 1/2" chamber. and i beleive most guns with 2 5/8 chambers do all right the with 2 3/4" shell which is the 70 mm , as long as loads are modest and equivalent.

hfcable

terrific accomplishment, what a great young man!

an original marlin lever action 410 from the 1920's is my favorite assassinate the grouse gun; spends more time in my truck in the warmer weather than any other long gun. does a fine job on grouse.

hfcable

Scott, that is one of the best 'first hand' stories I have ever heard.
thanks, and that 1873 has the be one of the ultimate family treasures!

hfcable

they are expensive, but if you need 2 7/8" 10 gauge or short 12's and you don't reload this will at least get that old gun going again.

Wow, Sure would be neat to be part of that! Love to be able to go all day and not run across another person! 8) it is neat; i have done that on fly in hunts, where i could hike up a mountain, take a spotting scope, and look all directions, all day, and not see a human or anything made by one. it is...

there are two of the large atv's, Coots, a 4 wheeler, a 3 wheeler and 2 snow machines; caribou often come thru camp, lots of bears grizzly and black, fewer moose, lots of grouse and ptarmigan, some rabbits. sheep up the river, and the terrrain is not boggy, can travel 50 miles in some directions; no...

OK, I must recant. I hadn't looked at the photos at the bottom (didn't see the links). With the cabins and all it's not too bad a deal. Is that ATV plywood or metal? Never seen one like that, is it homemade? i dont know about the atv but will ask; if you figure up the cost of flyint things in via s...

hfcable

i am thinking hard on it, and am gonna call the owner tomorrow!

hfcable

wonderful! thank you.

hfcable

of course you could fly in a couple of cabin tents and leave them there for when they are needed; likely would be making spike camps away from main camp when hunting anyway. it sure does stir the imagination on a snowy sunday afternoon!

hfcable

i beleive there are extra cabins, though primitive. still it would be best for 3-4 most likely.

"in the shoulder" to me is no worse than most 12 gauge shotguns; even off the sighting bench is no big deal; i think a lot of people are just saying what they have heard and haven't really tried one. i have been slammed a lot worse by a very light weight 308 [remington 7 kevlar stock weigh...

Would like a 12 guage lever gun myself, my grand dad had a old lever gun in 10 guage if I remember correctly.
