>>2537056To kill a deer with a headshot is a bit of a PITA as they have extraordinarily small brain:head ratio. Their head is much smaller than your fist, only around 3 inches. By comparison the heart, lungs, and liver are significantly larger targets that also provide an immediate kill. If you miss the brain by even just a few inches, you are just maiming the animal. The head also moves very spuratically compared to the body, while the deer goes from grazing to staring, bobbing it's head, etc. I've taken a lot of headshots on small game while slingshot, air rifle, and firearm hunting, but to take a deer out with it is just too much of a hassle. You either miss and hit the neck and hopefully sever an artery, or miss and maim the animal.
