The first shot at a deer should be at the largest lethal target. That is the heart lung area. Think of it as a balloon through which the bullet must pass from whatever presentation angle you are facing.

Head shots should be finishing shots only.

There are way too many ways to wound a deer with a head shot (lower jaw shot away is one example I found) that result in a deer that can still run like a deer, but which will die a lingering and painful death.
