Flying out to Fairbanks Sept 7th for a DIY moose/caribou hunt with 3 of my buddies. We will be renting some 4x4 truck campers. Most of our hunting will be close to the Yukon border. I have a buddy who lives in the area we will be hunting. He has been checking out the areas this summer and will be scouting more as the season nears. Black bear and wolves will be on the menu as well. Grizzly will be off limits since we are non-residents hunting w/o a guide.
Still not sure which gun I will bring. It is a toss up between my 300 WBY or my 270 WBY. Both are zeroed at 300 yds. The 300 is a Model 90 Sauer & Sohn, blued with wood stock and weighs 9.5 lbs. The 270 is a Mark V, stainless with a synthetic stock and weighs 8.5 lbs. Right now I am leaning more toward the stainless due to the possibility of lots of wet weather and harsh conditions.
My SS 44 Rem Mag revolver will definitely be making the trip.
