Deer

The deer’s brain is situated high in the head. However, when shooting deer it must be remembered that antlers do not equate to horns in cattle. The ideal aiming point is in the middle of the forehead, at the crossing point of two imaginary lines drawn from the middle of each eye to the top of the opposite ear (Figure 7). In stags, this spot is found between the antlers. As with cattle, the angle of the shot should be directed through the brain stem (Figure 8).
