Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Prince of Wales Black Bear .30-06 bullet choice

You'll have a great hunt; I've hunted bears with Kurt 3 times. Be sure and bring your appetite for fresh-caught crab, shrimp, and fish.

Before Kurt became a black bear guide, he guided for brown bears on the Peninsula. He is opinionated, hard-working, and likes big guns, but dislikes Noslers. You will get a big bear with your .30-06 and 180 gr NPTs, a recipe that one of our party used on my last trip to hunt with Kurt and Trina.

If you send me a PM, I'll be happy to visit with you on the phone.

180gr or 200gr NP would do the trick.

I took my Alaska black bear with a .30-06 shooting 180-gr Speer Grand Slams. That is as tough as any bullet needs to be. Worked like a charm. Made good chili and roasts....
