Point being, head shots don't make for a very nice photos.
Even on a doe...I don't really relish in the thought of throwing an animal in the back of my truck with its head blown off, jaw hanging by a piece of skin, or its brains spilling out. The deer's identity has virtually been taken away....meaning that it's sometimes nice to admire a taken animal's beauty among friends or family whether your trophy is a spike, 10 pointer, doe, or fawn.
No offense to you snipers, I just prefer a clean shot through the vitals.
Holy crap, that's downright ugly. A beautiful buck messed up by an errant shot. I hope he was shot a second time to put him out of his misery. This is why I won't take head shots.
