Double Lung.

A head shot is just about the worse possible shot. Don' t ever aim for the head. Don' t make a rookie mistake.

I also go for the lung/heart. If the deer is facing me I wait until it turns to one side before I take a shot. I don' t like shooting them in the chest because it usually doesn' t exit the body.

Head shots?! I don' t think so. It' s a smaller target to hit, and I have no desire to be anywhere near a deer that I' ve just blown the head off of.

Heart and lung shot. First deer i shot i was aiming for the chest area but the buck moved at the last second and shot it in the head.. but as i said, i' d say heart/lung would be best. As other people mention a headshot is harder and the chance of messed up the antlers and such is greater. On my hunting game (Cabelas Big Game Hunter for the PS2) you can make head shot because it doesn' t ruin it lol. (I use bows, my dad uses 300. Mag.)

Head shot makes a little too much of a mess but it knocks them dead![X(] I would rather go for a heart/lung shot.
