I guess at short range like 25 yds, with a scope, on a rest, with a standing still shot. Then maybe. Otherwise, you risk shooting off the jaw, which only leaves the deer to starve to death.
Exactly.
Too much risk of missing the brain and leaving a wounded deer out there.
But then if you are really good............. ? Maybe
I have the training to be that good but as Dirty Harry said, a good man always knows his limitations. No head shots for me.
