On the way back, working through the old switchback mining roads-- it felt Very eery-- exceptionally quiet-- spidey-senses tingling Then we found this:

Was glad to have a canister of bear spray and my Glock on my hip.

Did the poop smell like bear spray? If so, RUN, Forrest, RUN !!!

In other news.... LOL

I bought a Glock G20 10mm recently, and finally did some shooting with it. Very nice! I wish I could afford a LOT of ammo to shoot it more. The design of that handgun provides for smooth firing of a powerful round. I bought it because I wanted something for a hike in Grizzly country in Wyoming. I hiked at Kirwin Wyoming, a "ghost" town abandoned by miners after a deadly avalance in 1907. The hike I did took me to the top of Bald Mountain in the pic below-- about 1,300 feet higher than the 9,200 ft elevation of that building you see. That elevation kicked my old ass on that 3.5 mile hike.

The top was amazing, along with the cabin remains and mining equipment abandoned there... It was a good hike with my brother-in-law.

There was Elk poop everywhere-- lots of it very fresh (we likely pushed them to the trees lower in the valley). Is this Elk or Moose?

Lastly--- Thank you for a thoughtful and respectful discussion.

And thank you. I've learnt a lot from it.

As far as "a well regulated militia", we are allowed to have our radio transmitters aka. Amateur Radio.

HF is a dying art my friend and if you are a fellow practitioner of that art I salute you.

What load are you using for bears?

I wish I could afford a LOT of ammo to shoot it more

Isn't that the crux of the matter for so many of us. Ammo costs an absolute bomb here. I'm jealous of the prices you pay.

Indeed you do. I love the Australian landscape but there are things that you just can't see here, For example, our highest mountain, Mount Kosciuszko, is just shy of 7310ft (2228m).

That gun is not positioned correctly. It should be turned over. That is the position for a lefty to pick it up, but it should be on the left of the plate, not the right.

In the event somebody goes after that bacon.

What is not in the frame is that someone could be sitting to their right and then this is properly position for gun safety.

Everyone knows that in a polite society one's pistol must remain holstered during meals. and one's rifle must be placed in the rack provided.

In US $ a pre-ban mini-14 can go for $1,500+ depending on if it's stainless vs blue and factory folding stock or not.
