I wasn't aware that a lobotomy had been performed?

Heimo Korth the Final Frontiersman has kept his family in Moose and Caribou with a Remington 788 22-250 since the 1970's. I've talked with his daughters on Facebook and they told me he uses Federal 55 grain. He kills Moose pretty clean on The Last Alaskans show I know that.

Family legend has it that my one great uncle kill a black bear one time with his 22 by shooting it behind the ear, along with more than one deer with that single shot 22, I don't doubt it knowing the family history. Yeah, he was an outlaws in the strict sense of the law. But I will say that most of the venison he shot he donated to the poor families of the area, which probably helped keep him from getting turned in and caught, different times.
He lived on a whippoorwill farm at the mouth of one mountain gap, along with my Great Grandparents. Never knew him to hold a long time job, mostly just day labor along with both running and operating a moonshine still for Prince Farrington. He was a character.

Like I said before, my brother put a 22 into the ear of a trapped black bear. It was on video and laid that bear right out. Didn't even twitch

Put a few hogs down myself with a 22 rifle at butchering time. Never used a revolver, seen to many bad outcome when one was used, though I know a lot of folks used them with good results, depended on the person pulling the trigger. Uncle had a 22 hornet that we used on the steers.

Guy here at work wants to sell me his .22 Hornet so he can buy his son a .223 for deer and woodchuck. Now I know full well the Hornet will handle deer but I'm just gonna let him go on that.

We were still on the farm the first couple of years I hunted deer, that's what dad gave me to carried, a 22 hornet. Never killed a deer or shot at one with it, but I killed a pile of ground hogs with that gun.

I enjoyed this excerpt from a recent John Barsness article;
"Like many young Alaskans, they started hunting quite young with AR-15s in the standard .223/5.56 chambering, popular as starter rifles because of light recoil and stocks adjustable for length-of-pull. Their ARs worked fine on caribou and black bears, so the brothers continued hunting with them, eventually taking bull moose and grizzlies.
On a resupply visit to Anchorage (by far the state’s largest city, causing some Alaskans to call it Los Anchorage) they stopped at a sporting goods store and asked for several cases of .223. While talking with the salesman, he learned they planned to use the ammo on most big game in Alaska. Like many gun-store clerks, the salesman considered himself an expert on the shooting sports, so refused to sell them any because “everybody knows” the .223 isn’t adequate for moose and grizzlies. The brothers shrugged and went elsewhere to buy their ammo."
