But your correct on not being a very tough animal to kill.
All the Boo I shot have been in the NWT, north of Yellowknife and up on the Copper River. Big mule deer or WT here in Alberta go 250 -300 on the hoof. Outside of a real big bull, most of the Caribou were maybe 180-250 on the hoof. The locals used 223 most of the time.
