A hurt deer that is not dead is can go from laying there motionless to thrashing and rolling all over the place trying to get up when it cant. Sometimes it is not as easy as it sounds.

Sometimes trying to get a head shot can be challenging.
The angle of the shot makes all the difference in the world.

When I " dispatch" a deer. I will try for two areas. A shot standing in front of it while shooting it trough the eyeball works well. Also at the base of the skull when standing behind one. The trick there is to be sure not to shoot to low or the shot will angle through the throat without killing it.

When they are thrashing around bleating and squalling, I dont mess around. I use the 12 guage with double ought and blast them in the head...while standing at least 10 yards away. If you dont, you will likely get some blood,hair and brain matter on you.




Dont ask.
