[QUOTE="matt_3479, post: 1127275, member: 23070"] Caribou are surprisingly easy to put down, After the shot breaks they tend to just DRT even if you miss lol. Just kidding but they do tend to be an easier animal to put down and 6.5x55 or either of your 270.'s would be a great choice. As for moose im pretty sure there recommended minimum up there is 7mm or 30 cal and up however most places is 270. Win and up. Your 270. Wsm with a nice strong bonded bullet would do the trick just fine. I do personally like having a little larger gun and would also recommended 30. Cal and up. I hunt moose every year in Ontario, Canada and our group uses a lot of 7mm mags, and a lot of 30-06's. I carry a 300. Win mag pushing 215 hybrids around 2900 fps. I have also carried my 7mm mag and my old man has hunted for 30 years and has always shot his 270. Win and has never experienced a problem. As for clothing the only thing I can recommended is be prepared for anything. Great boots! Warm, waterproof, and make sure they are broken in and comfy!! Wind breakers of some sort in case the weather is not terriblely cold but a hell of a wind. And other then that, warm dry clothes. Call your buddy, he's can tell you more about the style of hubting and the best things to bring [/QUOTE]
