Do not exceed the agreed upon terms because even Alaska is not big enough to hide from my wrath!

Who me? Violate terms? With a respected veteran? Perish the thought. However I am just a simple fireman, not very bright, never learned to count. Alaska is a big, big place. I got a wall tent, a 4 wheeler and a Yukon stove I can pretty much get off the grid pretty well.. Plus I might not have mentioned that in my spare time I work as a critical care flight paramedic up here....I have contacts now in just about every village. Hehehe

Well I am in luck!!! I live at 400 feet elevation. Most of the settled part of Alaska is near sea level. Just cause we got that big ol mountain we don't live there. So I am guessing that because I live at such a low elevation the cigars will be extra good.

Of course. Every year. I have only killed two. Last year though I chased a little bull out to within 35 feet of one of my hunting partners. He of course killed it. Best thing is it was his 71st birthday. Better than killing one myself. This year I put in for. 3 moose tags, 2 sheep tags, 2 bison and one caribou. I got drawn for squat... Nothing. Zero. I will have to be content with over the counter moose, bou, brown and black bear. Maybe a coyote, fox and wolf. For enquiring minds I shoot a kimber 300 win mag. But I also picked up a Howa 375 ruger I may use this year. That or I had a buddy pick me up a pre 64 375 h&h that I have not seen but may use.

You can urban hunt here for moose, just have to use a bow.

Them is some big guns, I have a Remington 700 chambered in .338 RUM that is fun to shoot. I got it just in case I get a chance someday to hunt some really big game. Also have a Ruger No. 1 Tropical in 458 Lott, expensive little bugger to shoot but fun.

Well that probably would not work for moose hunting here. But for two legged vermin I have a similar loadout. Just not issued. Mossberg 930 spx. Slugs and 3" double ought buck. A few ar type things and a pile of handguns. Us fire guys may appear to be cute and snuggly but we are also paranoid.

Well yes without a doubt. This is Alaska. Right to carry state. If you are legal to own you can carry concealed. Pretty much any time I am in the woods or on the 4 wheeler I have my 44 on my belt. As far as I am concerned a good day is a day I get to put on my smith.

I dont have the 375 h&h yet. That being said the 375 Ruger kicks a little harder with a little bit better ballistics. Just barely. The advantage is the 375 Ruger fits in an 06 length action. The gun I have has a good recoil pad. It does not hurt to shoot, but that being said I mounted the scope too far forward so I was creeping it. The recoil caused my right thumb to give me a fa lip. I gotta fix that. Truth be told about the worst recoil most folks will experience is 31/2 inch turkey loads. The numbers on those is just nasty.

I shoot the 3 1/2's from my 835, no big deal. Got a bit of a cut on my eye once from a scope, Gonic muzzleloader packed with 150 grains BP and a 500 gr bullet, ouch.

I am a big believer in good recoil pads. My 300 win mag has a 1" sims on it...I think or a pachmeyer.. It is a very light gun like 6 lbs. it hurts way less to shoot off the bench than my 270 that weighs 11 pounds with a fossilized old rubber pad. When I got my 930 spx I put a sims on it. When I shoot it, I know it is a big recoil but it does not hurt. Just like the 375 Ruger. But there is still lots of muzzle jump.

I would think the .375 would be worse. That 458 Lott packs a punch but with open sights no need to worry about getting smacked.

Dubleuhb...for whatever reason your posts did not make it to me. Sir you have humbled me. My 375 is no way to be compared to your 458 Lott .. My goodness that is a serious caliber if you want to come up here and shoot big bears i can't guide you but I would love to come as packer and support. You are way tougher than I am.

Bear hunting would be cool, but my dream is to get after a big bull moose one day. Been to Canada for caribou, that was fun but there was so many animals it wasn't much of a challenge.
