RE: Guns anyone?
For all you have mentioned,...30-06.....,but for bears other than Black Bears, minimum of .338
I used .270 for Dear, Hogs,Black Bear andElk for many years. In 1995 I switched to 6.5mmSwede and killed my first Moose and Black Bearwith it and has killed many Dear and Hogs...

ORIGINAL: SwampTHING
I live in alberta canada.. every year i have a tag in my pocket for deer, elk, bear, and on occasion a moose. You dont need a magnum anything for what you want to hunt.. I use a 06 for everything, it shoots very well to 350 yards. Buddy has a 300 mag and his distance isa lil bitlonger.. but ill tell you he shoots a whitetail with that magnum and you are tossing away 30% of the available meat on that animal,, and he takes almost twice the kick with that gun! get an 06 with a good scope,, get some good shooting 165 grain bullets and you can kill any animal in north america with that round!

Almost brings a tear to my eye....All you need in this world is a 22 long rifle, 12 gauge, and a 30-06.
