rifles, nearly 50% of those shown. Good for normalization of type in the mind of the public but just how popular is the 5.56mm cartridge up there?

Yes that is the one.

I LOL when I read the innernet exspurts who rail against the 223 on deer.

I feel better knowing he has that and several 20 round mags living in the heart of Los Anchorage...

Some places if a deer runs a couple hundred yards, you never lose sight of it. Other places 200 yards is like 200 miles.

have been fairly popular whitetail deer rounds here in Texas since the 50's. Everybody I know that has used them feel they do they job and neck shots are prefered.

turn off the sound and just look at the pictures.

The men were real. They were great, with three completely different environments and lifestyles. The editing and narration was an atrocity. My favorite example: Toms wife talking about how scared she is when he's away. They've been there for something like 20 years. The old girl is tougher than I am, and she's been living like this forever. She's not the timid, meek woman they try to make her out as. Check out Eustace on the internet. He comes off as a communal living hippie on TV. This doesn't match up either. Marty is the real thing too, the Alaska Trappers Association Trapper of the Year in 2001.

Television- bah!

is certainly not aimed at the "make do with what you've got" crowd.

The episode of "Mountain Men" where the Alaskan is trudging through the snow got me. Yes, I know he could freeze to death on that hike, but I doubt the camera crew with him would just stand by while it happened.

sales makes money. Accessories, whether you need them or not, make money. New forms of old ways of doing things, ala the bore snakes, make money.

We used to hunt near a 75x200 yard bramble thicket, located between huge crop fields, which we called 'the nursery'. You could lose a deer in there, 30 yards from where you hit em. Don't ask me how I know.

A mans got to have his priorities straight.

I must admit I was surprised to see the AR15s being used for caribou. Critters must not be as tough in Alaska as they are down here.

it appeared.

Now you know that some scenes are reshot or composites of film taken over time. You can really see that in the Swamp People footage where in one supposed incident the shooter has 3 different rifles... However, I liked the scenery and learned from the geography. I like the old time photos, too.
