[QUOTE="6.5Express, post: 553800, member: 34804"] I prefer head shots to neck shots for reasons previously mentioned. I filled my wy antelope doe tag two weeks ago with a shot just below the base of her ear at a ranged 216 yards. My rifle is incredibly accurate, I had a perfect rest, there was no wind, and I waited until she was broadside with no other antelope behind her where if I missed my mark I would miss totally. She never knew what hit her, and I did not waste an ounce of meat. Typically I like a high shoulder shot (bigger target and usually won't hurt the cape), but I told myself if I was going to fill a doe tag, I would not waste any meat. But, that's just me. Take the shot that you are most comfortable with and feel most confident in. If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. In my younger years I thought "you'll never hit 'em if you don't try" now I think of myself as more of a hunter for knowing when not to pull the trigger. Good luck! gun) [/QUOTE]
