[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3817143, member: 5412"] I watch a ton of Alaska series about people that live there year around as well as Alaska hunting videos. What I’ve noticed is that the native Inuit’s use every thing from Mosins to lever guns in 30-30 to .223 AR’s to shoot moose, grizzly, Caribou and polar bears. They are poor people so they shoot what they can afford, but they survive with those firearms that very few people would use in that situation. Watching those series you have to stock up a lot of fish as well as meat to make it through the winter. Some don’t live near the migration routes of Caribou or near moose habitat, so they have to live on a combo of fish and small game plus domestic animals raised to butcher. So, I’m going with a combo gun with a large caliber rifle and 20 ga shotgun barrels. Most of the ptarmigan are shot with .22 rifles though. 10 lb of ammo is very little so 10 rounds of CF rifle and the rest shotshells. Trapping to supplement the small amount of ammo. [/QUOTE]
