Monster Hunter 3's Ironbeard McCullough: Questions Answered

Monster Hunter 3's Ironbeard McCullough

Have you ever wondered how a monster hunter travels?

Or perhaps you've seen a monster hunter carrying a weapon and thought, "I wonder what weapon he's carrying?"

The guy in the picture above, that's Ironbeard McCullough.  He's a monster hunter, and he's helping promote the game Monster Hunter 3.  You can check him out in videos on the Monster Hunter YouTube Channel.

I was curious as to Ironbeard's means of travel and his weapon in some of the videos, so I decided I would try and contact him.

Well, I was really surprised when I received an answer back!

I asked two questions:

"...I'm wondering what year/make your transportation is." 

and 

"Also, what is the large weapon you have with you?  Is that a Switch Axe?"

Monster Hunter Ironbeard McCullough replied, "T' answer yer questions, I drive around in a 1971 Ford F-150. 'Twas the best I could afford, as most people in the States dunna accept zeni as payment.

And me weapon is a Great Sword which was forged from pieces of the Lagiacrus I hunted down."

He signed off thanking me for my "note", and said, "...I hope t' meet ya on the huntin' grounds one day!"

Here's hoping I can meet up with Ironbeard in Monster Hunter 3 as well!

A few weeks ago, I posted up a video and my impressions from playing the Monster Hunter 3 demo from Game Stop.  If you missed them,  you can click HERE to read them, and the link will be at the very bottom of this article as well.
