Yea it's just a deer...
That about sums it up. You obviously have no respect for the animals you pursue. No true sportsman would intentionally shoot a deer in the head with archery equipment.

If you pulled that crap at my deer camp you would no longer be invited.

I don't know if this pic was from an intentional head shot or not, but it shows what could happen if a head shot didn't work out as planned. This buck was walking around a Pennsylvania neighborhood with an arrow in the back of it's head.


Putting the topic at hand aside...... The buck in the picture does not really looked stressed and the arrow placement is right behind the head at theend of his neck. The arrow looks like it penetrated at least 5" or6". This shot in my eyes should have dropped or killedthe deer, severing a main artery or damaging the spinal cord..... there's no noticable blood either. This leaves me to believe the arrow had a field point, was very short and only penetrated an inch or so, or the pic was photoshopped.

Needless to say it's a disturbing picture, and whether it's real or not doesn't change my mind on the bad ethics of a bow and arrow head shot.....But I can't helpto say this pic looks a little funny to me.
