It went by too quick.....I'll be going back for a coastal brown bear within the next few years. We hunted with Red Bear Wilderness Guides, based out of Anchorage. Luck....is the residue of design...

My name is Randy Newberg and I approved this post. What is written is my opinion, and my opinion only. "Hunt when you can. You're gonna run out of health before you run out of money."

That 35 cal TSX isn't the most slipperiest bullet in the world, sounds like a heck of a shot by George at over 500 yards! “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” ALDO LEOPOLD

I was on Georges site last night and saw that he chambers for the 338 WSM. That kind of suprised me and caught me off guard. I run one as well.

We're planning on doing a Dall Sheep hunt up in the NWT in a year or two and he is already spinning ideas on the "perfect sheep rifle". He likes the 6.5 SAUM pushing 140's at 3150, or 130's at 3300....I'll just stick with my .260.....grin! Luck....is the residue of design...
