Default RE: Place your Shot

I don't see any reason to go for the head or neck on a doe. The reason you would go for the neck or head (other than to prove you can which I think is stupid) would to prevent the animal from running off. First of all, a doe is going to weigh much less than a mature buck, so if it does run off, it will be easier to drag out. Second, with a properly placed shot and the right bullet, chances are the doe will drop where you shoot it.
