    They're mocking you with their indifference!

    Got number 3, it was raining and I did not want to risk tracking it. So head shot it was. Went in the top of the head and came out the neck. No tracking required.

    Im a harvest hunter, I hunt for the meat, dont care about the rack.. I honestly wonder why more dont just do like that.. head shots have several advantages

    1) Most humane, zero suffer time
    2) No tracking, DRT
    3) No adrenaline dump in the meat

    Actually head shots can be bad also. Seen a few deer running around with no jaw. One little flinch on the deer and the shot can miss or wound. I believe a good center of mass shot is actually better in most situations. Only reason I took this shot, was the deer was close 70 yards, and the head was down eating corn. I rarely ever take head shots, even though I am a meat hunter. To me it is better to take a shot with more chance of a hit into a vital. The head of the deer is much more likely to move than the torso.

    Yeah, exactly. The gun has to be dead on, and the shot has to be steady.

    We got another doe this morning. 2 does in the freezer and 2 does in the ice chest. Doe season ends today, so buck hunting now. I got a tag for a spike and a good buck. Hope to fill them both.

    Good explanation on the head shots. That is my preferred location, but if the circumstances aren't perfect, then it's a body shot for me. My guy was in a bit of brush wandering between trees and wouldn't stop to look, so I double lung/spined him:

    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Spine shots are great, but I love backstrap.

    I LOVE IT! They should be selling this in the store, I'd be posting this all around both my properties! BUT........actually I feed my deer every other day and we just hit'em with a stick. According to Tenn. State law there is nothing that says you can't hunt with a stick over corn. Hmmmmmmm? Corn, stick, deer........CORN DEER? Kinda like a corn dog xept made with a Deer dog? Whatever,

    I like this sign...

    Be safe.............the night is your friend.
