[QUOTE="daveosok, post: 61670"] This is the first information I have read on this subject. Many wont talk about it because they feel a "head shot" is impratical because if your not a good shot then you will most likely wound the animal. I try whenever possible a head shot, more meat, and a quick kill. I do however know that a shot placed anywhere within an inch of the brain will net you the same result as a brain shot. The shock from the bullet impact will produce a wound channel that will include a good portion of the brain. I have shot deer head on and placed the bullet impact at between the eyes and the top of the head and it creates a "U" wound channel and not much was left of the brain. The shots I have taken while the deer were standing sideways were extremely violent, usually the other side of the head was missing and not much brain was left either. I did however hip shoot a running doe that ran past me about 5 feet away and by luck alone I managed a head shot. She was still breathing but obviously most of the brain was gone as the hole she was breathing out of was her skull. This was the only time this has happened to me and I didnt feel bad as the deer didnt know it was dead just left over brain activity from the foramen magnum still intact. All of these shots were taken with Berger VLD bullets except for the hip shot deer. Head shots are the way to go if you can shoot that good.
