Last season we had a doe running around with a lower jaw missing and it took us 2 days to finally get her down. Some NYC "Vinny" from down state

It is not ethical to TRY a head shot. No matter how good of a shot you are (or think you are), you cannot becertain ofa clean quick kill. The deer could mover or your aim could be a little off.

A round into the engine room works every time. If you need a head shot to down a deer because either you are too lazy/incompetent to track if necessary then you probably shouldn't be out there anyway.

Frankly, if you can't consistently make a headshot at that range, then you're either incompetent or too lazy to practice your shooting skills, and you probably shouldn't be out there anyway... With a scope on 9X at 40 yards, you can pretty much pick out which strand of hair you want to hit...

RE: Head shot on does
Blanket question butto I answer I would say
Bow = No headshot.
Rifle = Not usually, but have killed a couple with neck shots.
Shotgun = Yes, I have killed a boat load of deer with 3 1/2" 00 buck
headshots that werewell within the effective range andthat
load has killed them graveyard dead everytime.
Also depends on the type of hunting. When using tactics like pushes, man drives, ordeer dogs you don't always get a perfect broadside shot at a still deer. Just being honest.
