[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2882133, member: 63925"] My 2nd cousin lives in back country Alaska. Two track to his place and bit of a recluse. He owns 2 rifles. Both are Winchester M70 .375 H&H. One stationed at front door and one stationed at back door. His mom visited him and left after 2 days into 10 day visit. She told me she could not take the stress of having bears around 100% of time. Solid oak doors, small windows shuttered with steel at night. She walked out on porch with coffee first morning and got chewed out for not having him with rifle on porch. So in his world of big bears 24/7/365, he prefers a cartridge that has the horsepower to get their attention. I started him hunting when he was 14 with bow and had lots of fun with him. His dad was casualty of Nam. I was single and tried to help out as much as a single guy could. He went into Army, put in quite a few years, took discharge to go to Alaska maybe 30+ years ago. So IMO, he has good idea what works in Alaska. [/QUOTE]
