Hi Mal H. It is beautiful up here. But I'm afraid my wife and I are preparing to relocate, first to Kansas City,MO, for 18 mos. and then on to the last great frontier, Alaska. We're presently exchanging some of our firearms to more appropriate weapons for that area. So far we've picked up a couple of 44 mag. and a couple of new 30-06s. We will be in the interior where there are not many Grizzly to be found, mostly black bear, moose and carribou. Nice talkin' to ya.
