The ideal caliber rifle for
Alaska is the 300 Winchester Magnum when
hunting Moose, Dall Sheep, and Caribou. The
.375 caliber is recommended while hunting
bear. Forty cartridges are generally
adequate. Be sure that the personal gear you
bring is of the highest quality. Please
weigh your gear and limit the total weight,
including gun, to 75 pounds. For safety
reasons a limit of 50 pounds is allowed to
be taken to the Rainy Pass hunting camps by
pack horse or super super cub airplane.
Please bring a soft duffle bag for this
purpose.
Additional baggage may require that you pay
an additional charter fee. On Rainy Pass
Lodge hunts you must check your hard gun
case at the hotel in Anchorage. Bring
binoculars, compact cleaning kit, pack frame
to carry personal gear (mandatory for sheep
hunts), hunting knife, small flashlight,
mattress & sleeping bag comfortable to 0
degrees F, camera and film, ankle fitting
hip boots, climbing boots (optional for
sheep), warm hat, thermal underwear, four
pair wool socks, two pair light wool socks,
two pair wool pants, two wool shirts, warm
gloves, down filled parka w/hood, quality
rain gear, soft duffel bag for gear, gloves,
water bottle & personal necessities.
