You did GOOD. An 88 Winchester for 370 bucks?? I am jealous. It will be a good tool for you. It'll take care of any game you may come up with. Are the (Hudsons)Bay stores still operating up there? 180 gr ammo for moose and 150's for caribou..or if they have 165's available just use them for everything.

As far as the bear attack. The fellow attacked wasn't the kid. He was a retired cop. The kid didn't get it..he walked right past the bear evidently. This is the 2nd bear attack in the last year in this area. The other was written up in the American Hunter Mag this month.. The mountain lion attack was kinda weird. The guy was cutting wood and the cat attacked him. Bit him on the arm and the guy cut it in the shoulder with the chain saw. They hunted it down with a dog the next day. Lion attacked the dog and was killed. They were afraid of rabies etc but none of that showed up in the tests. It only weighed 100 lbs.
