Good question about the trigger, at some point in time the trigger has been changed back to a double set and for what its worth, it works great. I was lucky in that I got the rifle from Bob Carow and Bob done a great job of keeping an entire package of history together about the rifle, Bob, as I remember it has owned the rifle at least 3 times. I think the article I wrote about covering the rifle was in the Journal in the last half of 2020. The article gives all the information about the rifle. You can't miss it, a picture that I took of the rifle is on the cover!

Call it whatever you want, but warnings were sounded, and the shooting continued. Perhaps greed is a better word. It's a human thing. Numbering an estimated 30 to 50 million, and reduced, by shooting, to less than a few hundred in a few decades.

Yep, disease from domestic cattle played a hand in the demise of the Buffalo.

If in fact huge numbers were killed by disease, the only thing left to confront the problem, would be to curtail the number being taken by other means, primarily shooting, as the only thing we as humans could control. But again, we failed to do so. And we possibly came close to reducing Whale numbers to dangerous numbers very recently. Fortunatly as a species we are not all slow learners. Perhaps we should protect them as well, before it is too late.
