When we first opened Sportsman's in Anchorage I had an older Native man come in and was talking with him. He told me that he didn't like AR15's because "by the time you run out of ammo, there's too many caribou floating down river and you can't round them all up"
I just shook my head.
Oh come on now, the natives are the true conservationists…
Shoot like you drink - until it's gone. Yeah, that does go on. I think it partly goes back to the old days subsistence mind set: Survival often depended on killing as much as you could, any time and way you could. The rest is technology improvements, without a corresponding change in habits, and of course, just dumb-[bleep].
On the other hand, I've spent about 15 years over time living with those folks. They have a wicked sense of humor, and will pull the white-guy's leg with a stone face. So who knows?
