Just for curiosity's sake, where would you draw the line and tell a client "no you are not allowed to bring that small of gun on a bear hunt"?
Hey Phil,
Are you going to answer my question?
in the past 37 years that I have been guiding bear hunters here in Alaska I have found the biggest problem, by far, is hunters bringing magnum rifles that they can't shoot. Which means a tracking job for me at best and occasionally a lost bear. And the quickest kills are from hunters using rifles that they are familiar with and can shoot well. I had one hunter kill a brown bear with his 257 Weatherby with Nosler partitions and a couple others use 270's. I am not obsessed with the size of the hole in the barrel, but rather the ability of the shooter.
Very interesting Phil, thanks for your reply.
