[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 383995, member: 505"] Been hunting Alaska most every year for about 30 years. I recomend that every hunter treats himself to an Alaska hunt at least once. Then if you ever get there you will always figure a way to get back. Our last great wilderness and a pleasure to just be there in it and live it. If you take an animal that is just icing on the cake. I have no idea how many big caribou I have taken there but at least 50 with the largest with my bow going 456. Best year I took a 417 on the first morning and when I went back the next morning to get more meat a 421 walked by and I got him. The 338-378 was smoking on that hunt. Best moose were twin 72 inchers with about the same paddles. Same area about ten years apart. Looking forward again this year to more caribou, dall sheep and grizzly. I agree with Phorwath, most any popular cartridge does well there except for the big brownies I would get a big gun to break their shoulders down. The only thing I have changed as I near 60 is my gun keeps getting lighter. Even then they still feel heavier every year. Unfortunately the big long range 338-378 hasn't made the trip for a couple years now because it just feels heavier every year I pick it up. I wonder if Tikka might come out with a T-3 ultralight for the old guys that still think there 30? [/QUOTE]
