I guess I was a little taken back by the whole comment, but I may have taken it out of context.

I used to have to measure bucks when I worked at the gun store, because every year we had a Big Buck Contest. You can get close, but you'll never get a proper and exact measurement on a buck's inside spread if the skull is not intact.

Not sure what you mean?
Boone and Crockett won't recognize it if the skull isn't intact. That's why I said there's no reason to make head shots

You should consider that horns are not priority #1 to some.

Orange..... just say orange.

If you split the skull you can't score the antlers.
theres no reason to take head shots

I have to respectful disagree....however there were no horns/antlers to score

Lol. Okay it's cool, but it's still not necessary

You are correct, it's not...but you don't get much meat out of a goat, and this saves it ha ha. However, I would not attempt a head shot much farther than 250 yards.

Found a doe one time that a hunter had tried a , less than 100 yard, head shot on a couple days earlier. It was standing there with other deer that were feeding with it's whole lower jaw hanging down flapping like bib.

That's the exception, not the rule. Probably 25x more animals run off shot in the body than the head. Not against shooting behind the shoulder if they are good and square, but I'll take a head or neck shot under 300 under almost every circumstance. I want them dead in their tracks with zero chance of adrenaline getting in the meat. Or a clean miss.

I've also seen a guy try and shoot a moose in the head and succeed in blowing its nose off. So what ur saying is you would rather shoot for a 3" target vs an 8" target?
And respectfully, I've shot everything in the chest, shoulder, neck, or behind the shoulder, farthest I had an animal run is an antelope ran 75feet. The key to good meat is getting it cooling right away and being clean, don't get hair all over it. Gut it and get it hanging in a cooler or debone it right then and get it in a cooler or fridge

my daughter once saw a nice buck with only the head and upper neck visible. She asked me if I wanted her to shoot it in the head - I told her to zap it right in the white bib of the neck instead. Easier shot and DRT.
