Default head shot/ethics

i will admit in the past i have made unethical shot but knock on wood have never not recovered the animal, not proud of it and have learned from mistakes and try not to make them again... That said i have taken a few deer with a head shot, have never attempted one that was not instant dropped deer no kick no run no flinch just down.

This will im sure start a huge debate but i have to do it because i want to know how people feel about it.



another question some preach penetration, shot placement, blood trail everybody has there own standards and if they work for you great but what about the thousands of deer that are shot with buckshot every year no penetration to speak of no bloodtrail most of the time and shot placement well its a guess with it

ive shot some deer with it and had it kill them as quickly as well placed shots well rifles

whats everybody think
