What is so wrong about aiming for the vitals? if you are worried about the deer running very far, either, learn to shoot better, or use a legal caliber. Neck and head shots are for people using less than legal calibers.

No head or neck shots for me.Besides Ive only hunted with bow the last 23 yrs,well ok BP,handgun a few times when iam in the mood.
Never have belived in takeing a risky shot like that,like said befor,to much room for error.......

RE: Bullet Placement
 

I will take a head shot onlyif the deer is downwith its head up trying to breath.

We've had to shoot a doe that was laying in a creek because someone tried to shoot her in the head and blew her bottom jaw off. She was laying down trying to drink because she couldn't eat or drink right. We've had to shot another one for the same reason though we seen the shot and shot her before she got away. People think if they miss they miss clean but if they move a little you blow their jaw off and they suffer and slowly starve to death.

I call BS to all these jaws shot off walking around. I've seen a total of 4 deer shot in the jaw, they dropped deader than a door nail and never twitched. I did one and even shot a pig in the face at point blank, he dropped and never moved.
I have put a .222 right through the front teeth and out the back several times, they drop and never twitch.

I too, have seen several deer, drop in their tracks, with a jaw shot. And several pigs too, i think a lot of people just make stuff up to fit their own opinion.:eek::eek:
