[QUOTE="QuietHunter, post: 12453, member: 808"] I never go out with the intention of a head shot. Plan for heart lung and only take something else if the situation is right and you are confident you can take what is presented. I have shot deer, elk and antelope in the head when looking straight on or moving straight away. Only because the situation was presented and right. With a headshot it can be a matter of inches between an instant kill and a starvation kill because of a blown off jaw. I avoid spine shots as the loin is the best meat and there is not enough of it - no need to waste more unless you have no other opportunity. Neck shots can be tricky. You have to know where things are and be able to hit spine or juglar. If you happen to just go through the esophagus you can still be looking at a starvation kill. [/QUOTE]
