Polar bears do turn up around these parts, though very rarely. We're pretty far from any major bodies of water. Lots of arctic hares, arctic foxes, sandhill cranes, snow geese, and a few peregrine falcons, though. Oh, and soon to be tonnes of mosquitoes.
Oh, and as you can imagine, it's pretty cold and dry up here, Chris. My skin has been drying out like mad. It is getting nicer, weather-wise. It was about 10 degrees C out and sunny today. It's like spring-time part 2!
Man, that is such a fantastic find! TWO backwards M.T.Co. 742s in one day! That is about on par with one emerald green 726 and one purple 742 in one day for me... 742s rock my socks, man.
Did you wind up with all of them, or is your friend keeping some?
Congrats again, man! I keep telling you we need to get out on a hunt together sometime, but... now I think so more than ever!
