Can I tell you one more Kodiak story?

💄

oh please

I want to hear more........

Across from the village of Old Harbor was the island called Sitkalidak. We had a fish camp there for full betting sockeye salmon. We slept in big canvas camp tents on the Meadows above the beaches

The bears would wander across the little hills above us and the dogs were goi g nuts

I slept with that 44 on my chest

oh my goodness

was this only certain times of the year?

Never got a real night's sleep and the next morning we saw how close the bears got to our two big tents

@Ron Ward Was that 44 a Red Hawk ??

After that we always anchored the big boats offshore

how many nights would this last.. in the tents?

#629 S&W 44 mag 8 3/8 stainless

Two nights only...after that it was in the boats

I’ve got a friend who has one of those. A real beast!

Cool ! @Ron Ward I fired a .44 Red Hawk one time with a Mag. load in it...my hand was buzzin' fer quite awhile !! LOL

Freakin' CANON

My John Wayne name came from skeet shooting and that gun

LOL

Now that’s a “hog leg”!

I shot one time at a clay pidgeon and about 50-60 yards I hit the clay...they shit their pants and I was a country legend.

LOLOLOLOL

😂

I went down to the Lagoon the next day and tried again with a box of shells and Clay's...I did not hit shit

@Ron Ward LOL You could proudly walk the streets of Deadwood, S.D.

Gunslinger

LOL

I was asked if I would consider becoming a vpso for the village after that ..I declined cuz I liked to party

Village public safety officer

My wife was already the medical in that village and u always accompanied her on her emergency calls

Seems like they valued you both

I plowed snow in the winter off of the runway and kept the streets cleared

did you fly as well?

@Ron Ward You coulda ran fer Mayor !

Mayor John Wayne

I installed a big storm sewer system and built a huge refuse dump for the village

for someone who likes to party and didn't want the responsibility.. sure.. seemed to get a whole lot done for this village

Right ??

When found out I could party as hard as they did...they pretty much left me alone

well
