I have a small quibble with the list...
no Mountian caribou, no Woodland caribou, no Alaska-Yukon moose, no Manitoba Elk, these are significant subspecies within the bigger groups, I think they deserve at least as much space as the separate sheep species!

defense ?
Great this will likely start 214 pgs of grouse defense ,
is the 180 gr. sufficient for male ruffed grouse when they are thrumming there chest,
is a single shot sufficient if there is a covey,
what if the grouse is facing you down - beak shot?
2 years ago i took one with a 405 gr. 45/70- head shot.now my buddy calls it the grouse gun.we were laughing until I realized I had a couple .410 shells in the truck - I fire the $3.00 a round... still was no waste of meat.

When you shoot one of these species with your Ruger #1 .303 British, just post it here. Nobody will object...
Yes!
I thought even the smallest of deer now had to be taken with a 300 Win Mag NUMB. In fact my Enfield's that, in their youth, faced the Kaiser and Hitler tremble when the safe door swings open as they have heard of the armour plated gi-normous deer that now roam our woodlands.
How quickly do you think we can check this list off, with the No1-A 303 British?
