Not sure if I've already asked this...the mind is a terrible thang.
Is it ethical, reasonable, to take head shots on deer for a quick drop?
I have deer that cross my property between gameland and water. I only have 2.27 acres, but there's a buffer zone separating me from neighbors.
I have a clear safe zone for rifle and crossbow, but my concern is more about tracking.
I have close shot ability, well within my rifle or crossbow ability, but tracking a heart/lung shot would get interesting.
Is it reasonable to assume that a head shot from a rifle or crossbow would drop the deer quickly?
