Only saw one in the wild, from a helicopter in the tundra, maybe 100 miles SE of Bethel. We all commented on how rare it was to see one in that place, on that terrain. We also lamented F&G laws on hunting them from the air, since I probably could've gotten it with my personally carried SKS in my ruck (didn't carry the door M-60's unless training or 9/11 while in AK).
Love those SKSs...especially older ones.
