When I hunt I don' t want a DECENT kill, I want to make a shot where I know the deer will be going down quickly and painlessly. A head shot it very irresponsible, no matter what weapon you are using. If you think the head is a good place to aim then somebody needs to teach you a lesson.
The very first deer I shot at was a doe. First day of shotgun season. She came running right in front of me and at about 10 yards my dad stopped her with a grunt. I don' t know what happened, if I rushed the shot or pulled it or what but I was aiming for the heart and lungs and hit the doe in the nose. Believe me it was the worst thing I have ever seen. To see that doe suffer in the way that it those few seconds before I got another shot in her was enough to devaste me. Even as I type this it brings a tear to my eyes because of the pain that was going through that doe. Oh but it doesn' t matter because it was just a doe and their are plenty of them <- saying that very sarcastically.
You boys can aim for the head all you want but I will aim for the heart and lungs.
