I worked in Kitimat this year for several months. The summer? Gorgeous...scenery, fishing, hiking...it was heaven!

Then fall came...and it started to rain...and it DIDN'T STOP!!!! The most relentless, non-stop, days-long rain I have ever seen, totally depressing and demoralizing. Yes, you folks have a magnificent province, a joy to the senses...when you can see it...but personally, I'll take snow and cold over rain every time.

Give me a Manitoba winter! :)

That's my second home you're talking about there. Probably the most beautiful place on earth or at least in the top five, but you need to be part amphibian.

I hear that. Standing alongside a gravel-bed river, tied into my first salmon that hadn't been dumped out of a truck into a Lake Ontario stream, watching my first wild grizz on the other bank, snow-capped mountains all around...was quite literally a mystic experience for me. I must hunt B.C. someday!

Well it seems I'm the hunting territory holder for where you may well have been fishing, so stay in touch. We should chase a goat one day.

I'm talking about the river just west of metropolitan Kitimat. :) Can't recall the name...it was a pleasant little stream in August...and a raging bank-to-bank torrent in October, after several weeks of insane rain.

I didn't realize you had a guiding/outfitting area...do you do that on the side? I'll definitely keep that in mind in case I grow suicidal...chasing a goat sounds great, one of my dream animals actually, but I suspect my mountaineering days are a decade or so behind me now. Do they respond to calls or decoys? If I can treat them like big white turkeys, I'm in! :)

Without a doubt, there is nothing quite like the north coast, I'm fortunate that I managed to spend quite a bit of time on the BC coast, from the top to bottom. :)

But it does rain a bit. :)
 
A while back,;) feeling the need for a 375, I picked up this model 70 Super Express in 375 H&H from a site member, thepitchedlink.



After seeing info and photos of the 375 Chatfield Taylor, intrigued,
;) I felt the need again. 'Adoption arrangements' were made and it arrived today, many thanks to SuperCub.

I have been doing some serious downsizing this past year but was not thinking about selling this one. Johnn is a determined buyer and would give that rifle a good home.

I have a nice 358win that Bevan King did for me that will work fine for heavier game..

:(That's something I'll consider starting in the not too distant future. However, in the meantime, being retired I find acquiring a few more items gives me something new to occupy my time, shooting & load testing for, and;)a little field use. I have a 375 H&H but my interest in another 375 was definitely 'tweeked' when I started hearing about the 375 CT. :)Thought I'd best try and get one;), to help further fill my idle time with. When I saw yours, I thought, "That's the one!"
 
I'm on the edge of downsizing myself but more for handguns and larger single shot - semi-auto rifles just don't have time to shoot them anymore.

When the downsize comes John please consider me cash in hand for the stainless / walnut 7x57. Would be the ticket for working on the north coast, with class.

:)Will do. Oh, send me a PM along those lines. Those PM's I get with an interest in acquiring an item I have, I keep & don't delete on one of my PM and/or e-mail clean-ups.
