RE: Head shot on does
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 in the land next to ours was the culprit because a shot was heard on their side and a few minutes later she came running over to our side, ran under my buddy's stand with her jaw missing and blood going everywhere. This doe ran around for days in pain and for what? We took the deer and dumped it at the bottom of their road with a cardboard sign around it's neck. It read "Hey A$$*&#@ if we see this again around here there will be phone calls made to the NYSDEC" So hell no to head shots! 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.

RE: Head shot on does
Thisis one of those threads that just raises it's ugly head once in a while and all it does is get all us deer hunters at each others throat. I shoot for behind the shoulder, if you disagree so be it. We're adults (I think), to each his own...........I wish this subject would never come up again.
