I heard from a guy who used to hunt them in Scandinavia that sometimes you shoot them and they stiffen their legs and just stand there locked out.

Curious, what caliber of rifle did you shoot him with? Thanks!

.270 with 150gr ammo. All I know is I was SUPER happy to anchor him on the road. Talk about a blessing

What a specimen!  Congrats on the draw, hunt, and success!  Couldn't of drawn it up better getting him down on the road, certainly bet that was a relief 😅
