So my wife told me that we could look in to setting up an Alaska guided moose hunt. As chance would have it, a mutual friend married an Alaska resident a few years back and they are in the guide business. So while I'm saving my spare change over the next 3-5 years...
What rifle system should I look to procure?
I have a 30-06 and have been playing with reloads that are good for deer, but the rifle I have is a mid 90's Winchester 74 and I would not take it hunting beyond setting up in the top of a dry barn. I didn't know if the top end of a 30-06 would be suitable for an animal as big as a moose, or if I should look to go 300 mag or something else with a little more punch.
Any tips on essential gear? The extent of my big game hunting so far is just IN whitetail blind/stand hunting.
