Hard to beat the .270. Always does the job so well. Got one staring at me ready for Kodiak next month...but have a new 300 that keeps calling to get broken in! Going to shoot some more tomorrow and see if I can decide.

Always tempting to reach for the bigger cartridge with those big brown critters roaming around!! Good luck on your hunt Steve.

A few more pics from the hunt.

Loading up the beaver on the morning of Sept. 30th.

Spike camp. Used the Helinox cot for the first time on a hunt and was definitely glad I brought a cut down Thermarest Zpad for insulation.

Nothing like a good book about flyfishing, to read while sipping on a hot cocktail.

Packing some meat off the mountain in some pretty stiff, bitter winds.

Just one of many bears we encountered.

Looks like you had a great hunt Greg!

In the first pic are those crampons or mirco-spikes on your boots?

Micro spikes. I probably wear them about 80% of the time on all my on mountain hunts now. The traction is just too good not to wear ‘em.

Ptarmigan is not happy about that boom stick going off.

That’s funny you say that, everybody I’ve shown the video to thinks that’s the goat grunting. Man, there are a lot of ptarmigan down there.

Haha, how much did you spend on that microphone to pick up that goat groaning from so far???
