Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Guns for bear protection in Alaska??

When I was living down on the Kenai Peninsula (little town called Moose Pass) we use to do a lot of fishing and I carried an old beat up but dependable '06 loaded with Remington 220 GR CoreLokt's for Moose/Bear protection.

At shorter ranges a heavy 220 GR bullet from a 30-06 will produce a pretty good 'thump' on anything in it's path..
