I thought that Ben was know for the 86 in 33 Winchester that he used for bears? Also remember he left his wife one day and did not return for many years, when asked what happened he said something like he started chasing a bear and it just kept going! Interesting fellow anyway. jay
I remember that his wife came in and told Ben that a chicken hawk had got one of her chickens and that she wished that he would kill it. He got his rifle and dogs, and left to kill the hawk. Three years later he returned, his wife asked where had he been, he said you ask me to go and kill that chicken hawk, so I did.
