Problem is you can botch a head shot and just blow the mouth off and condemn the animal to a slow death.
Heart and lung shots are a better choice. #1 You don't turn the skull in to a bag of pulp assuming you want a trophy. #2 Bigger Target and less of a chance of a bad out come. |

Again, I don't advocate this type of shot for anyone, I have fired hundreds of rounds through the gun and know where it is going to hit every time. I had a very stable rest, good trigger control and breathing and ample light, it was simply a matter of mechanics. Every shot I take on a deer is intended to dispatch the animal as quickly as possible and none do it like a headshot. I never aim for a region or organ group, I aim for specific parts of the anatomy and if I cannot, then the animal walks. |

Never knew what hit her.
Most humane shot that could be made. Good shot! |
