If everything falls into place I will be walking the beaches this spring! If I can get one I will most assuredly post a few pictures! Kinda think I'll carry my old 33 G&A, it seems to have a way with bear.

John I would go with a 308 Win with a 165gr Hornady SSP but the area you will be in you need something for Browns if you fine one having a bad and would like make you a meal. So I would go with a 338 Win with a 250gr Nosler Par. I would like to be over gun you never know

John S,

I'll start a thread to you,when I start seeing them this Spring. It may help you makes decisions,in regards to the timing of your Hunt.

It would be hard to argue the effectiveness of a Big 338. Good choice,you'll have all the bases handily covered..............
