Hi Dan! I was wondering when you would show up.If i can brain a squirrel@ treetop I dont have trouble doing the same to a deer at the same distance.Jaw shooting deer comes from shooting at running deer,or just bad shooting.Over the last 30 yrs,ive scored 100% on my attempts on head shots.I dont get cocky,there sure shots just like a lung shot at 150 yds.

Shoot behind the shoulder. Head shots are a low percentage. I recall a thred not to long ago about a guy shooting one in the jaw. Let them walk if you don't have a high percentage shot.
Ahhhhh furgitter, I miss our old talks buddy!
I was going to put in my original post that I was not knocking anyones shooting ability. Then I thought, nah, I'll see what my old buddy furgitter has to say to me.
No matter how good a shot someone is, things can go wrong. If a deer turns his head as you pull the trigger, you risk wounding the animal and it can die a slow death.
There are better shots to take. I know you won't like this either, but you owe it to the animals.
