Free: Contests & Raffles.
Thanks guys! Just reading about your trips is getting me excited to go.We are flying into Fairbanks then taking a charter up to an established hunting camp. We will hunt out of there. I heard they may have internet there, if so I will take pics and post them real time. Going to be late in the season flying out Sept 26 and hunting for 7 days. Two caribou limit. I think I will stick with the .270. I have read that some guys hunt with .223's for Caribou, so I am not too worried about the knock down power, just the pesky bears!If anyone else has some thoughts, please share!Thanks again!
I have committed to a caribou hunt in Alaska this year, really want to take my .270, I love the gun and its a tack driver. The guy organizing the hunt recommends the smallest caliber to bring is a .270.The question I have is should I take a larger caliber in case of a brown (grizzly) bear issue? They apparently have a few in the area. This will be self guided but I will have a buddy with me.Since I booked this I have been seeing news stories (WA hunter killed in BC this week) and TV shows (Kodiak), it keeps me wondering if I should bring up something in the 300 mag range or something with even more knock down power. Any thoughts from my Hunt WA friends?Thanks!
