Default RE: Head Shots...?

With a bow, this is a no brainer. With that being said, I will say that I have not and will not ever take a head shot with any weapon. However, it is hard to argue with the results of a well placed head shot with a firearm. I know many will jump on this and said that a slight miss will/can/could result in a crippled animial, but that can be said be said for a lot of shot placements. For instance, a quarting away shot on a deer is by far my favorite, but if the deer is facing your left and you shoot just a few inches right, you are deal with a liver shot at best, or a gut shot. Neither or ideal and both can result in a lost animial. Again, not a shot I would take, but I can see where some firearm hunters (in the right situation) would and could pull it off.
