I used a 338 win mag with 250 gr partitions on my AK peninsula hunt, one shot on a 9’4” bear, worked great.

I had a good hunt with Lyle Becker at Alaska Skookum Guides last spring, I would recommend calling him. He has a federal concession on the Alaska peninsula.

I hunted stones in the Yukon in 19 with an outfitter that claimed 80%+ success rate and found out it was not the truth. I believe they went 2/7 that year. He did kill some big rams initially but it seems like they may have over harvested the local population. I never saw a legal ram in 12 days...

It was a good time. Surprisingly the weather was pretty nice and I shot a nice boar on day 6. He was 9’4” and his skull measured 26 15/16”. I definitely thought he delivered, food was good for a wilderness hunt and I got along great with my guide and packer. I spent some time with Lyle before...

Give Lyle Becker a call (Alaska Skookum Guide Service). He has a federal concession in the Brooks Range. I know they get some nice moose and caribou up there. I hunted brown bears with him this spring on the peninsula and had a great hunt, he’s a good guy and very organized.
