Had a caribou bull hunt once, made up my mind I wanted a head shot, close range (.22-250). Bedded myself down on the tundra near a migratory trail. My bull shows up, and I waited for him to feed his way to me... to 50 yds. (or less). Settled in, the instant I was squeezing off my shot, he drops his head to feed. BOOM-ping-ying-ying-ying-ying... He rears up on his hind hooves, head thrown back. Front hooves come back down, and his head is wobbling from side to side (bell rung). Chambered a second shell, took aim at his head and squeezed off round two. LOVE the lack of recoil of this caliber ! Watched his bladder empty as all four hooves splayed out in a different direction as he flopped dead. Christmas is cancelled.
Round one took a bite out of the base of one antler's edge as it ricocheted off. Round two entered his snout where the wet/black transitions to hair... broke his neck at the base of his skull, and made an immediate right turn and exited the left side of his neck. His splitting headache lasted only long enough for me to chamber round two and squeeze the shot off.
