I am still in the middle of my very 1st Alaskan Spring Bear hunt. I got my black bear my 1st hunting day. I let my 79 yo Dad tag out 1st. My Tikka T3x 30-06 with a Leupold VX 5HD scope using Nosler 180gr Accubond ammo did NOT disappoint. I dropped my bear with 1 shot. My first hunt of ANY kind...
Hey there! As you might recall, i’m going on my first Alaskan spring black bear hunt this May. If given the opportunity, I can also take a brown bear. For my Tikka T3x lite 30-06, what ammo would you all recommend? I’m looking at the Barnes X or Nosler Partition but I’d really appreciate any...
That is awesome! I’m taking my Pops with me. He hasn’t ever shot a bear either. It’ll just be the two of us. A memory that I’m sure I’ll always cherish.
I’m just getting started and have been trying to research this topic all on my own. I am so happy I ran across your review. It is pointing me in the right direction as I now have several options to choose from. Thank you for all of your hard work!
That’s what I’m gonna do. I researched and found a small outfitter, called him up and off I’m going. It did feel a bit strange since I’m an FNGal…but I really want a rug.
Thank you. This is very helpful information. I’m trying on as many as I can because I know the fit is very important. At least that’s how I felt about the backpack I use for backcountry camping.
I’m doing my 1st hunt May 2024. A guided Spring black bear over bait in SE Alaska. I wasn’t keen on baited hunt at first. But since it’s my 1st time harvesting a big game animal, I figured that’s a good place to start. And I still must make the shot. Good luck to you!
