I'm still waiting to hear someone explain thereasonsfor taking a neck or head shot compared to a heart/lung shot. No one eats deer ribs so damaging edible meat is not a valid reason. The only advantage I can think of is that a hit to the CNS of a deer will produce more dropped right there kills when all goes right compared to the 30 to 40 yard death dash of a heart lung hit. So basically you have people taking a much higher risk shot just so they can brag that the deer hit the ground right where he was standing. And that's a really big deal because,..... because,....... because,...... oh wait, Dang, now that I think about it I realize thatit's completely meaningless whether a deer hits the ground right there or runs 30 yards.
Cause it's the most humane way to kill an animal.
Cause you dont want to track an animal in the South Texas brush.
Cause it doesnt ruin meat.
Cause of the thrill factor.
Cause I can.
Cause the less stressed an animal the better the meat.
Cause its getting dark.
Cause I dont want it going in the neighbors property.
Cause I use a.22 in populated areas.
Cause sometimes its the only shot.
Cause it coooooool.
Thats eneough for now.
Sorry, but that's lame. The shot that most assures a humane kill is the heart/lung.
