A friend sent these trail cam pix to me. I didn't see this post anywhere on here. If I missed it I will delete this post. One tough deer.

that is why head shots are not a good idea

Yes it is.

Hopefully it's some sad circumstance that the deer was broadside and thew it's head in the way and not some slob taking a straight on shot or head shot.

I know crazy things can happen. Take my IL buck in 08. I was aiming at this right side, right behind the shoulder and upon release, he spun so fast I took him on the left side of his neck. Amazing. Luckily my shot was true and had he not spun, double lung, the amazing quickness he had turned out lethal as well.

I know in Bowhunting Crap happens, but anyone that intentionally would take a shot like that is..................................

Well you know:wink:

unfortunately many novice hunters always talk about head shots. they think that it's a good idea. i can't tell you how many people i have helled at because they were talking about head shots. something tells me that it wasn't an accident...just stupidity.

More proof as to why you should NEVER take head shots. Especially with a bow.

Now maybe, just maybe, it was an accident. And in that case I understand. But noone should ever do that purposefully.
