I got hooked on watching a show named The Last Alaskans. As I watched, I tried to figure out what kinds of firearms were being used. Even though the show is based on hunting and trapping, in this particular wildlife refuge, there is not much focus on the firearms used.
As I watched I noticed most firearms used tended to be bolt guns and revolvers. Now to my questions, what type of rifle (manufacture, caliber and type) is common for hunting in these conditions? Second, what pistol calibers are used in Alaska in particular? Lastly, why isn't the lever gun more popular? I would like to hear from people who live and hunt in the state or people who have knowledge of hunting in the state.
Thx
