I posted before people taking heart and lung shots.
Shoot them in the eye or just behind it, even a good
headshot will drop them in their tracks, why waste the meat
the head is about the same area in circumference
people are sheeple in their behavior, meaning this is
the way it's been done, no one looking outside of the box.
I've witness deer being shot in the eye with a .22 from well over a 100 yards...drop right in their tracks, "Every time".

So you know this is not directed at you, just a statement in general.
After I seen this every shot I do is at least a head shot, I would assume the power snaps their necks. No Tracking.

The problem with taking "head shots" is that the head, depending on the mammal, is anywhere from 30% to 75% non-vital structures.

I have seen a hog shot in the eye with a 6.5 Grendel that didn't die. So "in the eye" doesn't necessarily work "Every time" unless you have the correct trajectory and penetration to actually do significant damage to the appropriate structures.

The reason a lot of people will not or do not take "head shots" is because the head is often quite mobile on deer, hogs, coyotes, etc. as compared to the rest of the body. The intended target can literally move its head out of the way of a shot while the shot is in flight. A nice brain shot can turn into a jaw shot or nose shot with nothing more than a quick head move and that can happen in less than 1/10" of a second, about the flight time of many typical hunting distance shots, and certainly within a 1/4 second for a shot of about 200 yards. The animal may not be trying to move out of the way of the bullet. They just move unexpectedly, sometimes. Those are more of worst case scenarios for "head shots" and the best case when it comes to them being screwed up, is a clean miss.

Quote:After I seen this every shot I do is at least a head shot, I would assume the power snaps their necks.

If deer were so delicate that a bullet impact to their head "snaps their necks" they would never survive into adulthood. You can shoot deer in the head all day long without ever damaging their necks unless the bullet actually travels through the spine.
Kill a hog. Save the planet.
