Never take head shots. Small error can leave a deer unable to eat or drink and I am not for any animal suffering

Best line from the movie El Diablo. Lou Gossett shot a man in the back. Guy says, "you just shot him in the back" To which Gossett said, "Well, his back was to me".
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I'll bite. When you want to kill more than one doe out of a doe train , shoot the lead doe , put her down in her tracks and you can get at least one more every time.

I’ve finished one off that was bedded with his head up, but shot it just below in the neck. That’s about the only time I’ve came close to shooting one in the head.

In my 40+ years of hunting the same piece of property that I do I guess I'm close to, if not at already at, killing 500 deer in my life. Keep in mind I'm not a slob htunter but we had a number of years where we had to do some serious population control after all the soybeans went away in the mid 80s and into the 90s I guess. Anyways, in all that time, I can not remember head shooting a deer either intentionally, or accidentally. I suppose if I was on a meat hunt and a doe was close by and the only thing exposed was her head, I would do it. Now if it is a doe or a very mature buck without a nice rack and I want to ruin as little meat as possible then I shoot them in the neck close to where it runs into the head. That way it is hard not to miss the spine and you still get most of the neck meat. I've done that a few times.
It reminds of a funny story. Bojie Beers' hunting camp, Alabama River Hunting Lodge, is just up the river from us and we go up and visit them every now and then as we are all friends. One evening years ago they brought in a doe with its head pretty much blown off. Apparently, the hunter had killed several does like that on his trip. The guide, the famous (or infamous Walter Traylor), asked him why he kept shooting them in the head like that. The hunter told him because he wanted to follow all the F&G laws. Walter says "What?" to the guy and after a bit more questioning it comes out that this newish and gullible hunter was told by his buddies that in Alabama we have a very liberal doe allowance but in order to be legal you have to shoot them in the head. The guy believed them and was following what he thought was the law. I guess his buddies went to bed every night laughing themselves to sleep.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

To each his own - 35-40 years ago i did it when i was young - had buddies talking about doing it
After that - i Decided there were bettr places to shoot a deer than the head
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self
We need prayer for our country now more than ever

I only take headshots with my atlatl....anything else isn't enough of a challenge

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft
