In the thread about thedeers jaw hanging, the shot gunners were basically tared and feathered with no understanding of what happened...bullet hit a limb, bad shot on a running deer, etc. My question is this, would the animal you are hunting change your opinion. I was watching under wild skies and he shot a hippo in the head in a river. I am not condoning any choice right or wrong, but what if you have a cape buffalo, lion, etc very close. A bad shot...or even a good one could mean your death, if the animal charges. Do you shoot for the head?
