Greetings.
My BIL is going on a two week fishing trip to the tundra and he called me to inquire as to what shotgun would serve him best as bear medicine up there, and as a HD gun when he gets home.
I gave him my take, suggesting he look at this and that, but then it dawned on me... I'm a Florida Boy. I know what works here, and anywhere else in the Southeast. But, I know nothing of the Great White North.
He likes the looks (and price) of the Benelli Super Nova. I suggested a used Ithaca 37 DS Police Special, as he is left handed, and my Ithaca has never failed me. But I know not how either gun would fare up there in that strange environment.
What are the considerations that he should know about? Cold? Strange plants? Dirt?
Thanks for the help!
