That's a good example of why I don't like head shots.

Oh man that is brutal.

I've seen bullets go through necks and deer just run off. More than once.

I think a head shot is mainly for the shooter. Like going for a windmill dunk when a layup is worth 2 points.

Hit them in the engine and leave no doubt.

If that's a head shot on the doe, small caliber at that..I've seen them shot there before with a .30-.06 and there is no upper jaw left after. Not certain that isn't something else, pretty clean wound.

Poachers often use .22's when spotlighting.

You left off where they've shot hundreds and NEVER missed. With a .223.

I know a guy that NEVER missed but he used a 243. I know he sure did a lot of shooting but rarely ever brought anything into camp. He was a head/neck shot guy. Guess misses only count when you admit to missing. roflmao

That's because it is. Would you feel better if the deer was missing a leg or gut shot? A bad shot is a bad shot. Whoever shot that deer missed his mark by at least 8".

They are called "vitals" for a reason.
