Hi Bert,

Do you have this one in your survey?

I did not have it until just now.  That old SRC has certainly been drug through the brush more than few times!.  It looks like the butt end of the gun (stock) may have been used to fend off a sow black bear.  I certainly would not be afraid to drag it through a few more Salal brush and Alder thickets in search of a wily old Blacktail buck.

This is the 3rd new Spruce Gun found in just the past week, and it brings the total to (275) documented.

Thanks,

Bert
