While we wait for the elk results to happen, I figured I'd ask this question that I've never really thought about much before. I recently got a co-worker into hunting birds and small game. In talking about how much better .22's are for rabbits/squirrels etc because you can head shot them and not waste any meat compared to a shotgun, he asked why I don't shoot deer/elk in the head for the same reason? I didn't really have a good answer other than the head is a smaller target area and I've just grown up aiming for the lungs first and heart second (don't want to waste the tasty heart if you don't have to). I've never really thought about it much and wanted to know what other people's opinions are. The only other time I've heard about it was from an old friend who said they only took head shots back in the Pennsylvania area. Thanks for you input.
