No kidding I agree 100%. This forum usually has a lot good useful info on it. However, today some people on here are not using their head and posting some flat out stupid things. Sometimes I wonder if its still safe to even be in the woods with some of the things that are being talked about lately.

Come on, do you really think it's what we do that gives us a bad name or people like PETA who hate us anyway?

Guy's lady dude is Stealthycat and many other usernames. He is going to bait you and then turn this into one of his well this site takes advertisers that he considers to be "canned hunting" operations. He would never take a head shot with a bow.

Spike, I believe this is about shooting one with a bow.

My buddy was telling me how the good shooters do that. So I tried and completely missed a doe at 15 yards with the smoke pole. Granted, it was walking, but if I aimed for the heart/lung area I would have had that deer just like all the others I got. No more head shots for me!

I wasn't being harsh with you, but there are a ton of "young" hunters here (not necessarily in age, but experience). I'd like to do MY part to make sure ethics are kept in check and the rest of us hunters don't get a bad rep for their lack of brains.
I read a new post every day, "New hunter" "help for a new hunter" etc... I would hate to see a "new" hunter think that this is the best way to, or even a reasonableoption to hunt.
If I had to do it to save my life, heck yah, I'm gonna shoot, and the chance of me even hitting it would be next to nil... unless I got Monster Boy 10 charging me with ill intentions, I ain't sending a bullet or arrow anywhere CLOSE to his head.

My father in-law has shot several deer in the head..arrows and slugs. Although it has done the trick, not really something I'd care to try.
Along the same lines, my buddy got one right below the right eye a couple weekends back. Didn't mean too...just happened that way. Dropped her though.

Hunting with the rifle a few years ago, I hear a shot, about 5 minutes later a doe is coming down my trail and her snout is completely gone. She was in terrible shape, making awful wheezing noises. I put her down on the spot. A few minutes later, the goofball that shot her showed up. I told him "your deer is right there, don't ever take that shot again".

when the shot is off it's mark a couple inches and does nothing more than remove the bottom jaw.

Head shot ,while bowhunting ,definately out of the question ,not something to be proud of or brag about .
I think anyone who intentionally tries this shot ,deserve's to miss completely and also deserve's the criticism he get's from other forum memebr's .
We all need to have some respect for the animal we're hunting and a head shot in most case's would be a wounded animal that may never heel ,or may wonder off and die elsewhere [unretrievable ].
