Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Minimum 'caliber' for Kodiak Brown Bear?

I heard 'Bob May', a pro guide on Kodiak, state the 'minimum' caliber for Brown bear is .338.

Maybe I've heard/read that before but don't remember.

Is the 'legal' minimum caliber 338, no cartridge specified, for Brown bear OR is that HIS requirement for clients??

I have no axe or hatchet to throw, just an honest curiosity.

Seems like I've read about 30.06 et.al. being used and discussed here.

THNX in advance.
