By GEORGE MONTGOMERY
Famed Hollywood movie star
My favorite rifle for big game is in .270 caliber with an Alaskan scope
set for grizzly and moose. I am used to big game, mainly deer and elk,
and can bag them without too much destruction. However, you must know
the kill spot on any of these animals.
For duck and geese I use a 12 gauge. On small birds, a 16 or 20
gauge is best.
I first went hunting when I was 12 years old. The first bird I ever shot
was a teal. I was handling a 12-gauge shotgun. I knew I was big enough
to carry one, but I didn't know the wallop they packed on recoil. The teal
was flying at me at approximately 50 m.p.h. Not knowing exactly when
to pull the trigger, the little feathered fellow was almost at barrel's length
when I knew I had gotten the bird. The way I knew I had gotten that bird
was because I found myself sitting in about six inches of mud and water,
. and I could see featheq strewn-a ll over. me., And. that wa&.the . h tb id. I. ...
ever bagged, but couldn't carry home. Also, my lesson was that a 12-gauge
shotgun at that range and age was a little too much firepower.
Most of my hunting has been done in Montana and Alaska.
