Is there any preferred methods for head shots on game - like how to anticipate their movements to give you an edge for killing? What distances do you like to hold shots to - 40 yards or closer? Brain shot? Jugular shots?

I think you want to aim for the eye, once you hit it, they can no longer see you, which makes that tough second bow shot much, much easier.

If you are aiming for the head with a bow, I would not want to be anywhere closer than 60 yards. If you are, people start questioning your manliness.

Man that would make it tough to chew.
Bart I would only go for it if your 100 or so yards away. That way you have time for a second shot while the animal is running towards you. Dont be to worried if the animal decides to run the other way as Ive heard they run in circles......

well just maybe it will keep one of the younger bow hunters from trying the head shot ,,i hate looking at that pic too ..but if a newbie bow hunter sees it ,maybe it will deter him or her from trying such a stupid shot
