“She said no musher would ever travel with a rifle or a large caliber gun, instead preferring to scare off animals with a flare gun. And with all the jostling of the sled, the larger guns could easily go off.” I have a feeling that’s about to change.
The Taurus Raging Bull in 454 is popular in Alaska for a reason. I understand not wanting the weight during a race, but on a training run the weight of a rifle makes no difference. While an AR-10 might be sufficient, the 308 is at the bottom of what I consider a moose cartridge, especially when precise shot placement is difficult, like when it is attacking or stomping your dogs. 338 and up is a better choice.
From what a buddy that lives up in Maine and who had a run in or three with moose (mooses? Meece? ) a .308/ 7.62 just piss off the moose.
Not just no but f@ck no! Moose are the roided up, coke up and small dicked steak head at the bar at 2 am looking for a fight. They will f@ck you up for no other reason than to f@ck you up.
