I only go for the headshot while hunting with a rifle at long ranges and when treestand hunting with a shotgun IF the deer is within 25 yards. I shot one in the heart lung area, in fact it blew the top half of the heart apart and the darn thing went 600 yards down a hill into a fast moving river. we were able to recover the animal but it really sucked to enter the water when it was 19 degrees air temp! and I have killed several deer with a bow that only went 40 to 50 yards and had one go for 2 miles with an arrow in her lungs, another good time....
