Want a cheap camp alarm? Get a $12 personal rape alarm and a cheap flyfishing reel full of backing line
Set up is fast and easy. Works for saving a meat cache too.
Never say whoa in the middle of a mud hole
True.
I have to say, I did stop listening to all those Hunting magazine writers a long time ago.
I realized most of them were basically riding the coat tails of guides/outfitters, who are the folks with the
"real experience".
Sort of why I liked talking to the pioneers who did it themselves, which there are a few of them who write and do
videos.
But the 270 will do the job.
Can always pack 150gr in the pocket after the sheep/goat is down, for that just in case moment.
Close range, the gun/bullet will work.
Plus you get to have a couple extra loaded in compared to most magnums (granted many now carry higher capacity clips
but that wasn't the case when I used to go).
Only reason I really carried the 300 win mag now is because longer shots on elk, I found the 270 didn't go thru and thru,
which made finding blood a real pain in the ass at times.
One can never really know where gbear will be hanging.
For me, have seen them closer to where I hunt elk, rather than sheep.
7mm PRC soon to be the most popular cartridge in North America
Hmmm .270 is plenty.
Leave the familly dog at home..he will come running back to hide between your legs..he WILL fit..400 pound grizz not so much.

Dogs like a husky are good in the tent to tell you something lurks outside!
But are a pain in the ass for hunting anything.
But they will chase gbear! (stupid dogs)
