A lot of people talk about using a small caliber and shooting deer in the head. A lot of them will say if I miss at least the deer won't be wounded. That is fine until they are off a little bit and blow their bottom jaw off and they run off to strave to death because they can't eat. We had to shoot one we found that way laying down near a creek trying to drink because someone tried to shoot her in the head and shoot her jaw off instead. It is too easy for the shooter to be off a little or have the deer move a little at the last second. It makes a lot more sense to use a big enough gun and shoot them in the vitals instead of trying to use as small a gun as you can and shoot them in the head.
