Funny how a photoshopped pic can stir this place up. I'm not so convinced a field-tipped arrow would penetrate two places in the skull and have enough power to keep come out a couple feet. I may be wrong, but I think it's fake.

As for a real life situation, no, never take a skull shot with a bow. Geesh, that's common sense, no?

Thats what im sayin a monster 14 point buck hell yeah id take that shot, once in a lifetime opp. damn right im gonna try for whatever shot presents itself.

now now dont do get your undies pulled so far up the crack of you butt that when you sneeze theyll fly out your nose...he was trying for a spine shot and ended up hitting up in the hip where the main artery runs. again spine shot not recomeded but id at least try that on a big buck. i have in the past. not a shot i practice alot but woudl take a spine shot if I knew he was going to drop.

There was only one time since I've been bowhunting (26 years) that I advised someone to take a head shot. We were tracking a buck that my friend hit in the liver. We came upon the buck (still alive) in the thickest stuff possible (we were crawling on our knees), the deer had its rear end facing us and had it's head turned broadside. We couldn't get to the side of the deer because of the thickness of bushes surrounding it. In order to put another arrow into it, I told my friend to take the head (brain shot) instead of a rump shot. He made the shot at about 8 yards.

On the buck that I mentioned above, it was a complete pass through. 145 grain muzzy four blade.

People are going to do what they have to do in the woods. If a huge buck is in the woods and you drop it from ANY type of shot that you were aiming for, (Besides gut) you'd be proud and show it off. If the deer is dead its a good shot.
As for either pic, i doubt they are real. In either case they would have jumpped the string. And if a dog is stupid enough to look at an arrow comming at his head, fetch would be a lot of fun...Let darwin weed out stupid animals. No biggie.

Ok I took a loot at the picture..... if it was photoshopped its a decent job... First off for those of you who say it was a field tip instead of a broadhead you can't make that remark because you can't actually see the tip.... the tip is embedded in the side of the deer so.. for all you know it could be a broadhead!! Secondly I have personally shot a deer in the head before and it dropped instantly and it was with a bow. I shot itdirectly through its eye and the arrow actually passes completely through the deers head.... it was a mature 8 year old black tail doe. I'm not saying its the best shot ever but if you are close and have no other shot... then freaking take it! If however..... you have a different shot take the other shot! If it was me I would shoot it in the head if I could. For those of you who say " where was he hunting where its concrete," Maybe he didn't have a camera with him at the time so he waited until he got home... thats the way i work it and I know many people do as well. For those of you who are flaming over this pic you need to shut your mouths because your the type of people who have way to much money and way to much time on their hands to sit around and yell at other people because you think your opinion is better than everyone elses!!! I say get your thumbs out of your butts and look at it from other peoples point of view... seriously!!! If you think its cheaper to go out and buy 75-80 pounds of meat than to go and shoot a deer you need to rethink that! I shoot blacktails and only get like 40-50 lbs of meat and I spend about 40 dollars on a tag. I kill 1 deer every year with 1 shot which means my time is well spent and that I'm putting meat on the table for a much cheaper price than if I went out and bought it. I don't know about you but I work hard for my money and would rather not spend 5-6 dollars a pound on beef when I can go out in the woods behind my house and put some steaks in the freezer that will provide for months of food! I'm tired of people bickering and arguing... if you don't like someone on here don't go flaming on them in your posts go somewhere else!!!!!

Take up golf a bad shot won't maim anything. Who taught you your hunting ethics?

Honestly IMO someone should be shot themselves if they took a shot like that. Especially with a bow. Now for the picture. Being in the last year of my criminal justice degree, and all the investigation and crime scene classes i had to take, that deer has a post mortem wound. If the picture is real at all the arrow was shot into the deer after it was dead. There is no blood at all in any of the wounds. That means the heart wasnt pumping. If I personally knew someone who ever take that shot, I would probably kick their ass.

Dumbasses.

I am with CHARLIE P. If you would shoot at a 14 point buck like this.
