I agree. I’ve only killed two and only guided for a few more. Most of my extensive guiding is based off elk hunting, I admit. Alaska is a definite different animal. Never had much by way of rivers for them to die in and they were all the tiny runt Shirus variety. In my experience, I would rather use a .300 Wby and 180 grain A-Frames rather than a 275 A Frame out of a 338-06. The people that need to actually tool up for Alaska and not have a guide tooled up to help them out is a tiny tiny drop in the bucket. Maybe if it weren’t the 338-06 would be more valid.
