Basically my friend Butch showed up with that caliber and wanted to try it out for that company . 3006 is also a good choice as well.

For 30 years I have eaten bulls 60" or greater and loved all the meat, however because they are so old, I have most of the meat turned into hamburger with pork sute. The rosts I pull out we slow cook overnight and they turn out great.

I noticed it after playing back the footage later that day.

Thank you for asking. The 308 is a good caliber however 150gr bullet is too small. I personally wouldn't hunt moose anything UNDER 180gr bullet and I have experienced down to 160grn. I hope this helps and good luck hunting this fall.

Thank you for sharing this information. Honestly I have experienced my 500 Smith & Wesson totally impacting a grizzly with much more knockdown power than any of my other calibers. One shot absolutely devastated my last grizzly at 15 feet... Be safe out there...

Picking you scope depends on how you want to use it? For 90% of people a Basic 3x9 will do just fine however if you like to sit on ridge tops and find yourself in a long range shooting situation your are looking for 20X 50 high grade optics. If you master your moose calling techniques like I have done you can call them bulls into camp and only need open sights or a bow, it really is this simple. For 20 pus years I hunted everything in Alaska with a basic stainless steel 300 Win Mag (Ruger) crowned with a 3X9 Leupold scope. I actually nicknamed this old rifle of mine that I still have, "The Slut" because it was the most used piece of equipment I take out into the field each year for hunting. Good luck on your hunt this fall T

I understand why and don't blame the bear for doing what it does best. They are opportunistic in nature and love to play actually with everything. I have never personally been confronted by a "mean" bear. When given the chance they have always ran the other direction. I didn't say it in the video but that bear was behind camp chiming its teeth the whole time I was packing everything up. The bear tracks shown walking up to the tent are fresh tracks.

For years I carried a pistol grip shotgun but after talking to Fish and Game they said "Studies show you never get a chance to lift up the shotgun on a charging bear and you are better off with a pistol". I have carried this SW500 for many years it's like an old friend to me.

@@60InchClub great info thanks. Being a ‘rifle guy’ I thought it might be the opposite , , but that argument makes sense. I also realise a lot of people like 10mm autos but the SW500 looks so powerful for bear defence

Very nice, we take that caliber out every year just make sure to shoot 180grn bullets or larger for those big moose. I did have one instance on a big bull that absorbed many shots before dropping and to my surprise my friend was shooting only 160 grn bullets. Good luck this fall

To small for anything but Caribou.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you.

In Alaska we hunt moose to feed our families just like most folks buy beef at the store. Be harvesting the "OLD" bulls this perpetuates the species allowing the bulls to pass on their genes before we harvest them. Along with providing for our families I love to capture the moments on videos to share for a lifetime. Unlike "meat only hunters" we have the meat butchered for our table fare and then have the giant antlers taxidermy professionally to hang in our homes. I go another step further to produce these filmes to share my experiences with everyone for training or maybe to live somehow vicariously through our blessed hunts. Thanks for sharing your concerns and allowing me to explain. Respectfully Troy

Ive got my first moose wit 308,,,, and i never shot a 4570 before

Each caliber shines in different ways. The 308 is a great all around caliber and is excellent for longer range shots and depending on grain of bullet is a excellent choice. The 4570 is your "guide model" caliber, you will see many guides using this caliber for it's excellent "close" range protection and superb knockdown power out to 150 yards. 98% of all the moose my friends and I have takes have been under 200 yards, with that said averone hunting Alaska must consider bear problems and the 4570 knock down power is a nice consideration. One can knockdown a moose and protect it afterwards when you are quartering and butchering up the moose. I hope this help in your decision.

Thank you for your response. My goal is to show what I and my friends have used over the years. I think shot placement trump's big calibers, the big take away I have learned is no matter the ballistic coefficient of your chosen caliber the larger the grain bullet has been the difference for big game in Alaska. I wish you all the best luck in the field... Stay safe and have fun. Troy

We tie them to the wing struts under one wing, usually on the left side. I have tied two moose antlers on both sides and flew them both out at the same time.

Thank you for being candid, lol. She is a bad-ass and certainly keeps me in-line, I'm a lucky guy...

@60InchClub Absolutely and I meant nothing but respect. The first time I let my wife shoot my shotgun with 00Buck and she smiled I fell in love all over again lol. Happy Thanksgiving.

I don't appreciate your condescending comments, if you can't say anything good then don't say anything at all and keep on scrolling. Music I chose is royalty free and had to be paid for use on public platforms. I picked the music because it made me feel like I felt when I was on this hunt. Shooting moose in ankle deep water is actually the best way to keep your processing much cleaner, we didn't plan it that way it just happened that way. Both moose were actually 1400 plus pounds (average weight for Alaska Yukon Moose), I would suggest getting your fact correct before passing judgment. I post these FREE videos in the hopes to help others and maybe give others a reason to hope that one day they too can be on a moose hunt and be as successful as me and my friends. If you reply with another snobby comment I will have you blocked on KZbin.

Thank you for sharing and pointing this out.

Thank you for sharing. Black bear even "inland grizzlies are no problem for the 300-win mag, I have harvested many of both with mine. Good luck on your hunts

@@60InchClub as far as the hide preservation go is the 300win a good choice? always heard it destroys the hide on the exit wound

The 35 Whelen as been mentioned many times in my threads. I have never used that brand but will take you word. If I ever get the chance to try it out I will post it here. Thank you for your comment.

BIG knockdown power. I have trained many long range classes (1000 yard), and one of my trainer rifles was the 338. It is certainly a nice option that wont disappoint.

I have experienced that as well, it depends how hard in the rut they are.

@@60InchClub yes exactly

I have eaten many giant moose in the 60, 70 inch range and will continue to do so. You cant eat the antler, this is true but they are sure nice to look at for the past 30 year I have been moose hunting. Also there is more than 200 pounds of meat on a 60 inch bull over the much smaller bulls

Thank you ! Our passion has always been about harvesting the giants. We love finding the best places in Alaska and figuring out the best way to get on location and hunt these magnificent areas… We wish everyone good luck this year!

Thank you! We wanted to help everyone this year to have their best chances for success. Normally reserved for 60 Inch club members, until now. Happy hunting this year folks, be safe out there.

We havn't tested those calibers and will in Alaska. However when in Alaska's wilderness we don't leave anything to chance and go with what we know will work. If being charged by a grizzly bear "and I have" even a big caliber feels small.

We were amazed as well. One can only hope for two bulls not to mention two 70 inch bulls and the a third 63 inch bull. Thank you for your comment

My father would say the same,

How do you draw a Kodiak Brown Bear tag every year ?

@@robertboyd3863 I'm not an outsider I'm a resident, not a sport hunter I take everything, meat and all...

I understand and have been told this before. All I can say is the music is a reflection of how I felt out in the field when I produced the videos show. Thank you for informing me.

If we wanted a “one shot drop” we easily could have shot the bull in the next, however risky that close to the river you Dont see or the bog close by. One in the boiler first then one shot drop is how it's done in “true wilderness”...
