Zeal,
Maybe you jus' ain' t shot enuff animals? I' ve seen squirrels jump up from a head shot. Saw a bull elk las' season fall down a hill lay there until we was on him, an' then raise his haid, missin' the back of his skull, tryin' his heart out to git up. Found a cow onct with no snout. Horrible way to die. Haid shootin' is like drivin' thout a seat belt.....It only takes once to sour you on it.
