That's a tough one. It really depends on if you want to be able to shoot further distances, or if you are okay with keeping your shots to within 150 yards. I hunt Ohio as well, and if that is what you are used to, you are already used to hunting game at fairly close ranges. I don't know if you've had experience shooting at long range, but if you haven't, I personally would not pony up for a whiz-bang long-range shooting magnum. I mean, what is the point if you are not used to shooting at long ranges?
So I would go with one of the previous posters, and based on what you are used to, get a good lever action Marlin in .45-70 or .450 Marlin. This will get the job done on any Alaskan game at ranges under 150 yards. Again, unless you are willing to invest a lot of time practicing shooting at long ranges with your new magnum, I wouldn't go that route. Just my 2 cents...
