[QUOTE="dennisinaz, post: 2760904, member: 40966"] That discussion is best had BEFORE the hunt, not after the bear is down. If a bear is going to make it to the alders your guide is going to shoot. Nobody wants to dig a wounded bear out of that crap. Since this thread started i drew a brown bear permit on the East side of Kodiak; spring 2024. It is a really good hunt. I would really like to hunt with my 458 but will probably use my 340. Whomever is with me will have a rifle and will get to make followup shots. I know several bear guides. 2 of them use 35 Whelans. Again, there is a big difference between having a good guide beside you when shooting and doing it on your own. The guides i talk to all hate it when a guy shows up with a new magnum that he bought for the hunt. You are not going to impress a 1500 pound bear with your 375. Just not going to happen. It is a better stopping rifle than the 30-06 but those 30s with a 200 grain bullet are going to work well. [/QUOTE]
