I've messed one up before. It didn't end in a lost animal, but it went in below her eye and didn't kill her either. She didn't even fall. It's a tricky shot and you have to be very good to do it. The boiler room drops them too, and with the right bullet, you won't lose much meat. Also, for some of us western hunters, a 300-yard head shot is a little tough to pull off the first time. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it's not the best option for some of us.
