I'd still take a 480 Alaskan for Alaska; and a G21 45 Super for the lower 48.
why not the same for both places...…..bob
Bigger bears, moose etc and you're likely to be further in the boonies.
not enough to make a difference...….if you are talking back east or in the south.....basically anywhere you don't have grizzles.....then a 357 or pick what you like works.
other than the costal bears.....the grizzles in the western states are on par with Alaska grizzles......moose are pretty much moose...…
not saying your line of thinking is wrong.....just it depends on where you are at...….bob
