Okay here is the application which I hesitate to say but what the heck. An acquaintance of mine who grew up in a northern ontario community claims that while out hunting, to have had multiple encounters of...mythological creatures. Two of the encounters, which were from a distance, seemed to have a very aggressive nature. He is hoping to return and capture some footage and make a documentary which I would help film. The firearm is strictly for defense against said creatures and bears. This is absolutely not a hunt. My buddy will have his 30-06, but I think for myself I'd feel more comfortable with something better for close encounters in the bush. Currently I only have a 12 ga single shot which surely isn't adequate. I'm certainly open to other suggestions. Wild stuff I know, lol
