Anyone Here A Hunter?

[+ Avalon]

On the recent episode of "F.B.I." someone said that a hunter would not aim for the head. I know nothing about hunting but I'd think a head shot would be a quick kill and a humane way of killing the animal.

I was taught to aim for the heart.

The most effective shot is one delivered to an animal’s vital organs—heart, lungs, and liver—located in the body cavity inside the rib cage behind the shoulder. A shot placed in this area, referred to as the vital area, is fatal and produces considerable bleeding since the area also contains major blood vessels. Bleeding is essential in case tracking is necessary. Do not attempt to place a shot in the head or neck since they offer very small targets and may result in an animal being wounded. If you can’t make a killing shot, don’t shoot at all. --https://www.hunter-ed.com/montana/studyGuide/Where-Should-You-Aim/20102703_700164570/

Thanks! That would be instant. But I'd think that a person would need to know animal anatomy.
