Still think Head Shots are a good choice???
Edit: Sorry...This isn't me....found this on another website.
I think Mr.Longbeard must have been hunting in the area.
"2004 Muzzle loader (Read story before Looking) you all won't
believe this one. I was hunting out in Sidney this past weekend for my
muzzle loader buck. Well I got him. I'll make a long story short.
First off, Mike kept telling me he saw a buck with an arrow through his head,
I thought he was full of it, but he kept telling me he saw it again. Sat.
evening we saw this buck jumping around going out of control from about
350 yards away, Mike told me it was probably the one with the arrow in
its head. The buck was with another one that night. The next morning I sat
up in the tree stand and waited, all of a sudden at about 10 minutes after sun
up. There were two bucks that came right to the side of my stand, 30
yards, I saw the arrow instantly and didn't know what to think. Anyway,
He ended up giving me a shot and I got him. Looks like the arrow was in
there probably at least a couple months or more. No blood or anything
and you could move the arrow."

RE: Still think Head Shots are a good choice???
There is only one reason to take a head shot on a deer and that is desperation. If someone is that desperate to take a deer, then they better be starving. If not, then they need to get out of bowhunting because obviously they cannot handle the inherent failures that can and do happen.
