http://[url=https://postimg.cc/d7JhgKHD] My son likes head shots…..several years ago he said, I’m gonna go kill a doe for some jerky. I told him not to mess up any meat. BTW, he’s not done that again.

I tried a headshot from 10 yeards on my first deer that I spined from 10 yards, first with the muzzle loader and then with a pistol. I still feel a little bad about it. If I can't pull it off from 10 yards, I dang sure won't try it from 100. My brain finally caught up after 4 attempts and I put a pistol round in the boiler room. Hit the heart and that was that. So I don't think I'll ever try a headshot again from any distance One caught a jaw and I was glad it was spined and couldn't go anywhere. That would have been horrible.
It made me realize humans are unique with large brains that take up a much larger portion of our heads than other animals. It isn't as easy as I thought.

Not my cup of tea. I’ll just loose a little meat and break down those shoulders or ribs.

it is like high tech stuff...it works great till it doesn't. In my opinion it is not an ethical shot to take. Nothing worse looking that a deer with its jaw shot off.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

No reason to take the lowest probability shot when a basketball sized target is begging for your bullet right behind the shoulder.

If we are worried about wasting meat……….maybe get another job instead of hunting to buy more food or if you are starving please let us know and we can help. I’m not a wealthy man by any means but the thought of not wasting meat has never once crossed my mind! I pray each time that if I shoot, to please allow me a safe and ethical shot and for the animal to die quickly. Maybe I’m too soft No it’s because you have more respect for the animals you love to hunt.

When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be
