While it can be done with a 9mm, my rifle of choice when guiding is a 458 Win . So you can read between the lines !
Phil, What do your son and daughter carry when they guide for brown bears?
Tia started out with a 338 Win, then fell in love with the 375 Ruger when it first cam out. Then when it jammed on her during a bear charge, due to the first edition of the Hornady DGX with the wide, flat meplat, she lost some faith in it and wanted an Echols rifle in 416. So she now uses the 416 for virtually everything .
Taj loves the 375 Ruger but also carries his 475 Turnbull and a Ruger 35 Whelen on some hunts
