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.

I agree to a point. The things that can go wrong can go wrong on any shot not just head shots, I think the only difference is margin of error if you are shooting at the chest andfor some reason you are off by a few inches there is still a high likelihood you will still hit the vitals if you are aiming at the head and for whatever reason you are off by a few inches it can get ugly.Like I said earlier it really depends on the weapon and the distance. With my bow or rifle I am not taking a head shot and it is not because I don't feel I amcapable oraccurate enough I just feelthat more than likely a better shot will be offeredat some point because I knowthat's how it usually works out for me stillhunting. Now shotgun hunting is different because I see more deer on the move, now I prefer chest shooting them butif I get a deer within 20 yds or so the shotgun is very deadly in the head/neck area and keeps the meat I prefer from being shot up. Just my .02.
