Head shot only? Even if it was broad side at 100?

None of my business how you dispatch an animal , but in my experience an animal will bleed out better when lung shot. Only reason I mention it is because in my mind it can affect the flavor and quality of the meat. Just my 2 bits worth, obviously it is a humane kill which is the most important aspect.

Choices are all preference but if you only take brainshots why choose a
.300?
I am just interested, not criticizing.

Head shots are not either clean kills or clean misses as some people would have us believe.The brain is a small target,and a slight miss can result in a jaw damaged so the animal starves to death,or a slight miss can result in the loss of an eye,without being fatal.

But he bought a really accurate gun, doesnt that make up for everything??
I agree with Elkhunter 100%. If a person states they take head shots only, they most likely havent been in the hunting game that long, or havent seen the results of a poor shot. I have taken several head shots when the conditions are right and the distance warrants it, but a shot into the vitals at the shoulder is a much better bet for a lot of hunting situations.
