Head shots?
 
How many of you have ever taken a head shot at a deer? Please expand as to whether it was taken with a bow, rifle, shot-gun, black powder and etc...

Thanks...

Personally, I never had, however, I did recommend that my friend take a head shot.

We were trailing his liver/stomach hit buck after waiting6 hours. We tracked him about 200 yards. We were on our hands and knees trailing just specks of blood. We came upon the buck which was bedded (we were not sure if he could get up or not). He was only about 5-7 yards and his butt was directly facing us, his head turned sideway (he had his head up).

My friend had a passthrough through the skull which put him down right away.

Have shot several with rifle and shotgun (buckshot). With buckshot at close range (<30yards) its the shot of choice on a doe for me. Most of my deer culling involves .204s and headshots as well. For hunting purposes, I like the high shoulder/base of neck shot through the front of the scapula that takes the spine right where it dips before going into the neck. Never ever lost one with that shot.
