I have been on many, many hunting, fishing and camping trips here in AK and have never been confronted by a bear, but there is always a first. When I do anything up here, I carry nothing but my 12 gauge or .375 H&H magnum. I feel a heck of a lot safer with those two, than my .30-06.

I have flow out to the mountains for caribou for a few years now and I have always carried that .375 as long as I' ve owned it. It shoots caribou just fine and seems to do less damage than the .30-06. If you look at the factory ballistics, they are very comparable. I would take the .350 or make sure my partner has a bigger gun.

I' m headed to sheep country this year and plan on taking my .270, but the deal is, my partner will have a .338. We will probably see grizzly' s.

Big Country, the guy who you loaded the bullets for wasn' t that guy who wrote " One Man, One Rifle, One Land" . I think Jones is his name?
