[QUOTE="Nitroexpress, post: 737860, member: 47344"] [B]Cold Trigger Finger[/B] ~ I see your from [U]Alaska[/U]! A safari for me might not be just consist of Africa - Do you have experience on Brown Bear Hunting or Moose? [I]If so:-[/I] [LIST] [*]Whats terrian should you expect on a hunt? That might be a broad question but does most hunting take place in scrub (short range where you need a bullet resist small branches etc) or open ground (where you need something long range with a bit of pace)?? [*]What sort of range would you guess most bears / moose are shot? [*]Would a .416RM be better than a .375 (RUM)? [/LIST]I nearly got over there for a bear hunt but the trip was canceled and we went to Durango on an Elk hunt instead - I had 6-8 cow and calfs graze / walk within 15 yards but didnt see a single Bull ~ I sat out and glassed for miles from some vantage points but nothing :( One day I want to harvest a Trophy bear to take pride of place in my trophy room (yet to be built) Nitro...........
