[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 2866863, member: 20769"] If you want to try a head shot, you really need the deer to be with its head up and looking at something of interest. If I want a dead right there shot that does not damage the main meat, I shoot to where the neck meets the body in front of the shoulder. I don't need to worry about sudden movements as this area does not move with the deer raising or lowering it head, and with all the muscle and spine there, a well placed shot drops the deer in place. My last head shot was 656 yards, but I did cold bore tests from the blind for several days in similar conditions. Once I was dead on for late afternoon, I set up the feeder and waited. Shot was perfect and all went to plan. But I will not try that again as too many variables. I had just gotten into Long Range hunting and wanted to test it. While I have still made head shots on does at close range, I prefer to go for the vitals with a good bullet to be fair and ethical. [/QUOTE]
