[QUOTE="prdator, post: 899860, member: 2840"] When you have shot a few deer that have had their lower jaw shot off ( get you a good mental image of that!! a doe running around with its lower jaw hanging on by a patch of skin!! ) or their Muzzle shot off, nose ect and think of the blood and the fear in the animal!! or had to shoot one that had its thought blown out and was still running around in pain. When you have had to shoot these animal to put them down. You will begin to see why I HATE this kind of shot for the folks that THINK they can make them.!!! The animal deserves the highest opportunity shot for a quick humane kill and that is always the hart/lung shot. Now is the head/neck shot effective?? if done right you bet!! it's DRT!! but miss a little and the animal will pay the price. The other problem is the guy's ego and that should never enter in to the shot ,if you THINK you can make a head shot then you should KNOW you can make a hart/lung shot! and that's what you should be doing. Now on the 223 I highly recommend it for deer hunting with good bullets and shorter range it is very effective on deer size game, but bullet choice and shot placement is key. [/QUOTE]
