Black Bear Success 2005

[Kusko]

Awesome AKNimrod! When I get a Brown Bear, Sheep, and Goat I'd like to go on a black bear bowhunt in Southeast. I think it would be awesome to do that in the spring.

My high dollar hunt for the year is for sheep in the Talkeetna's. We leave on Aug. 6th as this is the only time our pilot could take us. Any of you guys have a gear list for sheep hunting? I have a pretty good idea, but I'm looking for any "special" tips.

Also, I have a choice between two rifles. Which one should I take? Remington 700 Mountain Rifle, blued and wood, in .270 Winchester. or.... Remington 700 stainless/syn. in .300 RUM.

The mountain rifle is lighter, but the .300 will reach out and touch 'em if needed.

Opinions, please?

Also, we will be hitting the Kings hard soon and have been pounding the sheefish as of late. Got to love the summer.

How are the skeets where you are at? They are terrible here this summer.
