    Head shot vs heart / lung which do you use most?

    I am interested to know whether you use the head shot or heart / lung shot the most. There is no doubt that a good shot to the swede knocks out the central nervous system and death is instant but the target size is smaller so the margin for error is greater. On the other hand if you hit them in the bigger target area of the pump and bellows some animals will gap it on residual oxygen in the blood stream and sometimes in dense bush you are left with having to track down the kill on dusk.
