Most head shooters don't need "enough gun," a BB to the head should be enough gun!
how do you practice a shot that the target is subject to move at any given time?
Again, how is this shot practiced?
Really, its not the sort of shot anyone should attempt!

With enough gun
With enough gun
and enough shooting ability I see no problem with it
It's not the sort of shot that everyone should attempt without a lot of practice though .

just stating that a practised marksman with a properly sighted hunting weapon can make that shot with no more risk to the animal than a heart/lung shot . I also wasn't reccomending shooting one with a toy , and I call .22s toys when it comes to hunting anything larger than bunnies . A deer's skull is a pretty good sized target , especially with a scope , and a well placed shot there will drop them in their tracks . The head is sometimes all that you're going to get a shot at because of heavy brush or other obstacles , and certainly more ethical that a blind shot through the brush like a lot of people would attempt . If I couldn't make that shot I wouldn't take it anyway .
