[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1598468, member: 12443"] In 1952 my father and 2 friends took a 30 day Yukon hunt with Alex Van Bibber. Each of them got a Dall sheep, a Moose, and a Grizzley. Each of them had one rifle, plus they had one spare along. All were 30/06s using 180 gr bullets. My fathers trophys still hang in our PA camp. His bear was shot on his Moose kill a few days after killing the Moose. One shot in the chest was all it took when the bear stood up, with the 180 loaded with 50 gr of 3031. BTW, the hunt cost for 30 days with each having a guide, 27 horses, 2 wranglers and a cook, was $1500 per man, or $50 bucks a day. [/QUOTE]
