You know guys, this is not the first time I have read that the 35 Whelen is not very popular and didn't catch on. I hear it from all over the USA and even in Canada.

However, I live in Wyoming, and we have lots of elk and LOTS of grizzlies, and the 35 Whelen is quite popular here!

Maybe we are just a small 'hold-out' for the cartridge. I can't say, because I have not asked about this issue directly until now.
So.........
As an open question to all readers:
Do you or any one you know use or hunt with the old 35 Whelen?
I know 5 of them just in the town of Riverton (Population 9,000) and 2 more in Shoshoni
(population . four hundred). I know of 3 men in Montana that love their 35 Whelens (one of which is a Browning M-1895 which I rebarreled to 35 from a 30-06 many years ago).
I know one man in Idaho who owns one, and one in Las Vegas Nevada who loves his. He hunts with it in Colorado every year.

So, chime in here guys and let me know what you know.

Steve
