You shoot for the head??? Interesting, and most unorthodox.

WTF??? Of course you do a head shot if possible. Only an American who
couldn't hit the broad side of a barn while locked inside goes for a chest
shot.
One shot... one drop.

Makes for a really ugly trophy on the wall. Or perhaps you like those
gaping exit wounds on yours.

I was taught by a very experienced hunter--my grandfather--who learned to
hunt with black powder calibers just after the turn of the century. A deer
skull was plenty thick enough to deflect a simple lead bullet if hit in a
thicker cranial area. So the proper shot was a heart shot--ribs penetrate
easily. Still is, at least according to those with far more experience than
I have. Perhaps our deer down here are more intelligent and able to easily
detect a hunter who's close enough to take a head shot. Canadian deer =
idiots.
