The natives in Canada's far North kill polar bears that would kill the the largest lion, tiger, or Cape buffalo in a matter of seconds. They often use .223's or .243's for such work. They are on home turf that they are intimate with and they hunt off an all terrain vehicle (ATV). Snow mobile, quad, or Argo. It doesn't matter. Just drive up to the animal and bang, it's over.

I won't say for a minute that natives are any less sporting than the travelling sportsman who ventures up there. I would be willing to bet that many sportsmen go North with the purest of hearts, but the distances are vast. The temperature is so low for many of the sportsmen from the warmer Southern climates that they would perish in less than one day if it were not for their guides. The wealthy sportsmen might get off the machine to shoot his quarry, but I bet he doesn't waddle too far from it before he shoots. Did he need a .375 H&H? No, but the story he tells when he gets home needs it.
