[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2832561, member: 33159"] I took the mountain goat in my profile photo on Kodiak in 2018. The outfitter told me to bring the largest caliber rifle I was comfortable with, for the goats will suck up lead and you want something bigger to deal with bears if they become an issue. The outfitter carried a 325 WSM and the 2 assistant guides carried 300 WM. Everyone, including myself had a 45 or 10mm handgun, also. I purchased a 338 LM for this hunt. Never saw a bear, but our halfway point (3.5 hours of the 7 hour hike) to our spike camp reeked of bear. So, they obviously were traveling in the same places we were. You can’t be too prepared for big bears. Have a great hunt. [/QUOTE]
