I wouldn't take a head/neck shot on a big game animal unless it was from a rest with a known distance within 100 yards. I have head shot grouse with my 30-06 from a rest within 50 yards though.
As was stated already and obviously what you and others who would try it can't comprehend is that the HEAD moves and a target doesn't. I've got a .243 Sako that I've put 10 shots in the bull of a STILL target, but will not attempt a shot at ANY distance at a living animal for the exact reasons that Finn and I have stated. It's an absolutely stupid, irresponsible thing to try!
