If an animal can die from the "shock" of being struck in the hind leg, why are head shots that miss the brain so ineffective? Because blood loss is minimal....that's why.
I've honestley never heard of head shot's being ineffective,however I do got another Fairytail for yaa, when I was a kid hunting with my dad in southern saskatchewan,we heard a bunch of shooting,then 5 miniuts later saw a buck running right for us,the bucks toungue was completly hanging out and swinging all over the place because some other hunter's shot the deer's lower Jaw completley of it's head.Dad was able to put the deer out of it's misery's for the other hunter's who claimed the deer later.I guess that could be an example of a "Failed " head shot.
