If a 308 is considered a little light for Wild Boar then I would certainly want to carry something with a little more go about it against Polar Bear! In fact Vince will no doubt recall the Polar Bear training carried out at Diggle for novice shooters heading out to icy climes - wasn't there myself but sounds like fun.

Yes, maybe, when you wil find a double-barrel or repeater one in case you miss the first.

The hair makes excellent salmon flies! It can occasionally be purchased in Canada and is not cheap. It apparently comes from ones that have been "dispatched" because of the dangers they pose.

Aye,i looked into purchasing a hunt in Alaska a few years back. The prob arises in that you have to be an Alaskan native in order to shoot one without special authority and the hassle getting the pelt through customs can be a real deal. It stems from the fact that a fullsized pelt can cost $10,000 dollars on the black market.
I guess i'll have to stick with blacks and browns (grizz).
