Best gun for white horse, yukon?

Whitehorse is a fairly large target. You'll need something on the prohibited list I'm thinking. Sorry, couldn't resist, almost.

ah ah we re only 3 that challenged the oic and there is a lot of banned ones here ... some were not registered so no point to fight for those ones but the restricted were really in great number ...

How bad do you want to shoot Whitehorse? For the bear your talking about depends on what action, lever a good 45/70 or 50 Alaskan. Bolt 30-06 with a 220 grain bullet or a 35 Whelen would be my choice.

A 270, 7mm, 30-06, or 308 will cover all of your hunting requirements. I would carry a 270 or a 35 Whelen. Be smart in how you do things and carry a can of spray for any up close experiences with a bear.

whatever you think about bear spray we nicknamed them bear seasoning for a reason ...

Something in a .338 Winmag would be sufficient......

If you are keeping to the main tourist trails, I can pretty much guarantee you won't be alone. Bear spray or if you are really concerned an 870 pump.

How about a winchester model 71 348 , that would about do for anything you come across
Or a 375 Ruger , worked on a elk and a couple of white tail deer last year in Alberta
