Caribou always seem to die pretty easily if you hit them right.
The one (only one) I shot in the Yukon stood there much like a moose would after the lung shot. Is that common for caribou to just stand around?
Every one I’ve seen shot has done just that. The one I shot on Friday just looked at me, took a couple of steps forward, then flopped over. They’re odd critters too. They’ll take off at the sight of you from 500yds, but you shoot one in a group sometimes and they’ll all stand around looking at ole poor Fred with a hole in his side. After I shot mine the other 15 or so started walking back to the dead one. I could have shot half a dozen of them I think before they cared. Haha!
