[QUOTE="Pat S., post: 12455, member: 1161"] A head shot is a poor choice for the reasons sighted by Quiethunter:"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've known several hunters over the years who have done just this and didn't recover the animals. Both considered themselves excellent marksmen. The heart-lung area is a surer kill spot then the head-neck area. Also, when you hit them there it's usually a short trail to a downed animal. Pat S. [/QUOTE]
