Take the shot

[mossback91]

Well I see snow........is this my late rifle tag?  heck I'll pass on that buck

I would much rather take a surefire vitals shot with my rifle than to take a headshot Just personal preference I guess

the thought to shoot a deer in the head has never crossed my mind..35 yards or 135 yards...not a high % shot so i won't take it.

Bone asked "Its 35 yards, no wind, do you take the shot (bone size doesn't matter)"

Why has no one suggested a head shot?

Check out post #16 and #22

There's no hope for Moss         Must be one of those youngins'   (thats now under 30)

I would also take that shot with my .44 mag, handgun.  No 2nd thought, just pull up, get the sight picture and squeeze one off.

[boneaddict]

thats a no brainer, you either hit the deer, or hit the tree and fall it on him.

For those of you waiting for a better angle.....................

Uh oh, that one will start the whole "Texas Heart Shot" debate again...

For those of you waiting for a better angle.....................

Damn it that is always my luck.  I guess I would not be shooting that buck with my bow.  I probably would have waited with a rifle also hoping for a clearer shot and then missed my chance.

Now is time for the head neck shot with a rifle....

what if you had a deer bedded behind sage with just his head showing, at around 60-70 yds would you take that shot jackelope, not tryin to start a fight just wonderin, because i have taken that shot personally with a rifle, i voted yes to all 3 weapons btw

I don't do headshots.  If I am shooting it, it tends to have headgear that I want to keep along withthe skullcap.  I like to have meat and antlers, thats another reason for a boiling room broadside shot.

Not a fan of head shots either, but would prefer to see a head shot than a neck shot.  I've heard of many animals over the years being wounded by neckshots.  In this case, if wanted to kill this buck, one up the rear would definately end him(rifle).
