Alaskan Brownie photos

[Guy Miner]

Actually took these a couple of days ago on a fishing trip to Alaska, but thought you hunters would enjoy. Sure had me thinking...

We had flown into the Tsiu River to fly-fish for silver salmon. Fishing was great, and it was a bonus to come across the brownie one morning. What would you use if you were hunting the coastal plain for this guy?

Regards, Guy

338 EDGE with a 250g Aframe at 3100fps would get the nod for me. A big tough bullet that will keep going and going. Hopefully one day I can afford a brown bear or grizz hunt in Alaska. That is my ultimate dream hunt. I just need to get a really good job and save $10,000 to do it.

45-70 with a nice heavy 400g slug would also work well I would think, but thats a little close for my liking. I"d like to be at least 200 yards if not 300 from him before I shot him. THat way hes got to cover some ground to get to me. I think I could get 2 more shots in him before he reached me and reload 2 more just in case, LOL!! Otherwise, 50-100 yards is just not in my comfort zone for something that will swipe your head off or stomach open in 1 swipe.

Mr. Guy, a friend of mine dropped by today for a visit and told me that he has booked a Bear hunt in Alaska for 2009. This will make 3 trips for him. he has been successful both times in the past, took huge bears. the cartridge of choice is the 338-378 Bee with 250 Nosler Partition. In his words, it works every time.
