Gotta take that lethal neck shot Yep. There's about 10x more real estate in the neck vs their little walnut brain.

Too risky a shot for me. Right behind the shoulder has always served me well. I've only had one deer go more than thirty yards.

Head shots are usually uuuggglly.

Pisses me off to no end when i hear people talking about trying to shoot a deer in the head. But on the flipside a buddy called me out on shooting hogs in the head. I guess i out deer on a higher pedestal

I've done it in the past. Many folks have. I just think it's pointless and prone to error.

I've done it with success in a milo field where the only thing you could see was the head when they looked up. Damn hard shooting.
I head shot a Jan 31 fawn at the landowners insistance(he was standing beside me) to fill antlerless tags. I argued against it, then gave in and shot his, yes HIS, jaw off. I told the landowner to get his fat ass over there and finish it off. I was pretty mad all the way around. Haven't tried a head shot since then and that was 30+ years ago.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I've done it in the past. Many folks have. I just think it's pointless and prone to error. Killed a couple that was the only shot I had. So I don't know that it's pointless. Definitely isn't optimal. If there is another shot I will take it. Sometimes things don't always line up optimally. At least for me.
