For years and years my old college roommate and I would discuss going polar bear hunting in Greenland. We did a lot of reading about that ice-island. You know there's only about 62k people there, and almost all of them speak only Greenlandic, or maybe also some Norwegian? Look at their main exports: "Agricultural products." Hmmmm what would those be? "1.Reindeer... 5.Polar Bear"

How kewl is THAT?!? We talked about working at a reindeer ranch neer Nuuk (formerly Godsthab), then, after we'd picked up some of the local culture and some krona for spending money (we were, after all, poor college students), we'd head out into the icy tundra in search of the mighty polar bear!

We were considering 12ga shotguns loaded with 1oz slugs at the time, but I've more means at my disposal now, and I'm thinking either a .35Whelen or a .338 Winmag.

Damn, I still wanna go...

L.P.
