Always take the shot when it's standing up facing you broadside or either quartering away but never directily facing you and NEVER, I don't care what anyone says, there is nothing impressive about a head shot. Just a larger margin for error. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know everything and that I sometimes get swept away by watching some of these "professional" hunting shows where they make these miraculous shots but you have to be practical and know your own limitations. There's nothing wrong with an off-hand shot (if you've rehearsed it enough). Remember danielson, practice makes damn near perfect. But also remember danielson, there ain't a man alive on this planet who is damn near perfect.
