The last time i killed an animal with it was when i was 12 on a part of MT. ST. Helens that is no longer there now. The spot blew away 2 years latter. I have been a rifle collector but a Archer ever since i was 16. The brush of the coast range has been my best friend since the late 70s. I only hunt with a firearm now for waterfowl and upland birds. However i did take a nice cinnamon black bear from 1' away with my 1911 a couple years ago while bird hunting. Saw him coming tucked into a crack in the rocks and shot him in the ear as he walked by.

That story reminds me of Fred Bear on the beach taking a Kodiak with a bow. Wonder if the camera man had a 1911 handy, I would have!
Nice rifle, and glad it stayed in the family. Sounds like some great hunting for you guys in the PNW.

I have a hard enough time thinking about taking Kodiak with bow, let alone a .45. I DO have a Fred Bear Whitetail hunter...doesn't mean I'm going after bear though.
