[QUOTE="killahog, post: 337192, member: 3722"] I shoot almost all of the does I hunt in the head I have often let them walk past and hunt them another day as opposed to busting the lungs and dealing with all that mess. I have never missed a head shot or wounded a deer doing it in 20 years. Some of the shots have been left handed as well as right handed. Granted most of them are under 100 yards. This year I have taken 2 deer with head shots. When the crosshairs settle on the eyeball and stop moving there is no doubt in my mind what the outcome is going to be. I would not take a shot that dident feel rite. I can't say that there is a distance involved in that decision its just something that I see thru the scope. This doe was shot this past sunday I was holding on the deers righ eye at 100 yards. I was using a Savage muzzloader and smokeless powder.
