Interesting, I was under the impression all Alaskan rifles were stainless, rusty, and covered in tape. These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

And why they would they be different? The filming is in a beautiful setting with some great looking trophies , but he chose to look like he sleeps in his clothes.

The lack of responses actually answers the question. There is substantial integrity in that. ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN".
