Do you know what caliber his 99 is?

It's a 308 Winchester.

To better that hunt? My brother and the guys he hunts with do that every year. We are the ones that drool, they just go kill 55" - 60" Moose every year, and throw in a Grizzly, Wolf, or Wolverine when they can. Last I checked, they can shoot 5 Caribou a day... have to find them though.

And then top it off with outrageous fishing. Pretty tough if you ask me...

After he shot the Moose it was time to get serious. Scott said he never saw a Bear that just didn't want to die like this one. Old sow, skull was about 22".



He's spoiled now...

Yes he is. They live in Nome, hard to find a better place, (Alaska) to live in if you like to hunt and fish.
