Skyline,

When I said "anywhere in the head" I wasn't thinking of the jaw or nose, but the actual skull area around the brain. Might not have to be right through the brain, because the shock and impact would do the trick.

With that said, I would never take a head shot unless I was starving and really needed the deer. I can kill does out here almost any day of the week, so I have no real desire to shoot at the head of a doe that is sitting behind a tree. I can wait for them to move. It is all about patience. Now, if it is a big buck that is hiding behind a tree and the only thing you can see is its head, you really cannot take that shot either because you will destory the head mount.
