I agree with bcraig. That shot if placed in the boiler room would have been impressive. That shot intentionaly aiming for the head is the ultimate form of hubris. What possible reason is there for taking the lowest percentage shot at any range. If you want to brag and prove how good you are at long range bang steel. I’d be impressed if you were shooting a 5” steel gong at 900 yards, it takes the same amount of skill without the chance of wounding an animal.

There is a difference between a hunter and a shooter. A hunter should respect the animal enough to take the high percentage shot every time.
