This is well debated subject. And I have seen the effects of head shots and neck shots gone wrong. Some are terrible to look at and I can understand why some think unethical but I believe the same about a shoulder shot. If you cant put your bullet where you aim you won't always have a clean kill. Like someone else mentioned must hunters get there rifle on the bulls eye then pack it up. I shot my favorite deer rifle year round, always trying to improve and it has helped kill more deer. Too many hunters are ready for the deer that comes out in the middle of the green field and poses but have no clue what to do when they have a deer at 30 yards in thick briars and only a head, neck or piece of shoulder to shot at. Or too many are unprepared for the big buck that comes out on the shooting lane never stopping giving us a 3 second or less chance to get our eye to the scope, crosshairs to the deer and pull the trigger.
