I just hunt for meat and it almost brought a tear to my eye when I saw all the waste from that deer last night using the 223.

I might have to go back to head shots

And shot of jaws.

It happens. About 1 from the last couple hundred head shots for me. Gut shots happen on front shoulder shots, I wouldn't advise against them

At the end of the day there is only a very few on here capable of consistent head shots.
I don't condone it as I see what skill level of the average is like and also the capability of the weapon systems employed.
It doesn't have to be much of fuck up for it to end very badly for the deer.
I just call it ethical hunting.
100m with a well zeroed rifle, perhaps.

So far it hasn't happened, I'm using a very fine tuned rig and am confident with it so I'm happy to take those shots if the conditions and rest is right
