He eats them two-to-three times a month.Īnd when it comes to seal hunting, Gallahorn is not alone in his use of a semiautomatic. The spotted seals Gallahorn hunts are typically two- to four-feet long and weigh up to a couple hundred pounds. He floats over to the animal, spears it and pulls it into his boat. If he hits a seal the first time, Gallahorn says there is no need for a second shot. “If I shoot and miss the first one, another one will pop up five feet away,” Gallahorn told TIME. As Gallahorn takes his boat into the Kotzebue Sound in the fall and spring, he watches the edges of floating ice. For an Iñupiaq like Gallahorn, hunting and gathering can make up to 50 percent of annual household food. Subsistence hunting among Alaskan Natives is popular across the state, but it is vital in the northwestern region with no roads that is roughly the size of Indiana. In Kotzebue, Alaska, the Iñupiat tribe hunts seals and other animals to survive. 22 gun is both semiautomatic and widely used by hunters. To be clear, Kenny Gallahorn does not hunt with an AR-15. Kenny Gallahorn, Alaska: Hunting spotted seal “These are very useful tools for hunting.” “These are not scary black rifles,” Chambers told TIME. “(But) if you’ve got multiple animals or you miss, you’ve got a quick follow-up shot. “I believe in one well-placed shot,” Sodergren said. Coyotes can approach in packs, so Sodergren says the AR-15 gives him the chance to land more than one shot. When Sodergren hunts coyotes, he positions himself downwind so they cannot smell him. “When you grab the (AR-15), it’s like shaking the hand of a good friend you haven’t seen in a long time,” he told TIME. To kill one, Sodergren needs a versatile gun. Smaller than the typical golden retriever, a coyote combines its sense of smell with an ability to run up to 40 miles per hour to stay clear of threats. But for coyotes, he makes an exception.Īfter a heavy snowfall, Sodergren, a 49-year-old machinist, can track these skittish forest predators. He does not believe a semi-automatic rifle is necessary for all animals.
He respects them and chooses his hunting firearms carefully. George Sodergren grew up around guns in southern Maine. “But around here, I know a lot of guys that have them.” “I know the rifle gets a really bad rap,” Perreira said. The gun can be taken apart and carried several miles in a backpack through Kauai’s mountains to goat sanctuaries. The 45-year-old told TIME his favorite feature of the AR-15 is how easily it can be disassembled. In 1963, a few years after the rifle was invented, Colt advertised the AR-15 as a “superb hunting partner.” (Colt confirmed to TIME the authenticity of this advertisement.) Today, Americans own at least a few million AR-15s and as many as eight million, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Semiautomatic rifles have been used to hunt since the early 1900s. For the last 15 years, the construction worker has hunted with the AR-15. Perreira has lived on Kauai, the fourth-largest Hawaiian island, his entire life. Feral goats roam these mountains, and Jay Perreira often has them in the sight of his AR-15. Rising out of the Pacific, the green slopes are home to more than the world’s image of reincarnated dinosaurs. They are often named for the number of devices they can hold: 3-gang, 4-gang, 7-gang, etc.The jagged cliffs of Na Pali Coast State Park feature prominently at the beginning of the 1993 blockbuster film Jurassic Park.
The fixtures usually mount directly to the box (with no additional box cover). Octagon boxes typically are used for ceiling- or wall-mounted light fixtures and smoke alarms.Square boxes offer more room for wiring connections than rectangular boxes. Square boxes with mounting holes for two devices are also called double-gang boxes. Square boxes are used as junction boxes (for splicing multiple wires or cables) and for single or double devices.Rectangular boxes are used for installing most wall switches and outlets (receptacles) where only a single device is used.
