Default RE: Head Shots....Yes or No?

Not true about won't wound if shot in the head. There is always a chance for wounding. There is a chance to wound a deer if shooting at the rib cage. I prefer the largest possible target, which is the rib cage. I have never taken a head shot, but may someday be tempted to try it on a doe. I know a couple of guys that have accidently shot deer in the head with a bow. The deer in question didn't die quickly, but that's with a bow and arrow.

To the comment about being a polo shirt type hunter sitting in a heated blind - guess you've never tried it. I have a buddy with a couple of "condos". Once in there, he trades boots for slippers. Pretty nice being kicked back warm and relaxed not worrying about spooking deer. You can eat, drink, talk, play cards, etc. Pretty easy to stay all day. We use the condos when trading the bow for the gun. Think about it next time your ass is hurting and freezing while getting blown around in up in a tree.
