I alway take two rifle on hunting trips. you never know when you or sombody in your party will breack a scope or something. The 300 win is great and a 30-06 for backup would be my choice. I have many friends up there and they swear by the 300 and many have the 375 H&H. either is easy to find ammo for. I will say that the most succesful hunter I know up there shoots a 270.......go figure.
