O.K. I tried to stay away, but I can't.

I take head shots. I'm confident in my abilities and know my limitations. I'm a meat hunter, so body shots don't apeal to me. Also, I've never had to follow a blood trail on a head shot. I don't take head shots exclusively, and I don't take questionable head shots. But I use them when I know I can.

I'm not sorry if this upsets some of you. I appreciate all of your reasons for not taking head shots and I don't disagree. I just prefer to do it when I can. That simple.

In Brutal's case, if you are shooting the deer just to kill them, what difference does it make? As long as the deer are not left to die slowly in the case of a poorly placed shot. Which, by the way, can happen just as easy, if not easier, with a body shot.

Now to answer Brutal's question. The best head target I've seen was home made. Now I make them too. All you have to do is search the internet for a good head picture of a deer. Copy it and print it out. Cheapest targets you'll ever find. 8.5 X 11 paper is theperfect size for head targets. The computer will automatically leave somewhat of a margin on the paper, leaving a life sized picture of a head. The beauty of this is that you can make several different ones, with several different veiwpoints.
