I don’t think I’ve seen hunting content on Lemmy before, but who knows, maybe there are people who are interested in it. I have never hunted, but I guess I technically learned something from it myself.
Generally, yes. A deer's head is much more likely to move than its torso, so its more likely you'll miss. Worse yet, you could hit the deer and miss the brain, just injuring it.
A safe shot is as depicted, hitting the heart and/or both lungs.

This is the most random guide I’ve seen in this community.

Is it not cool to know where to aim for a clean shot when hunting?

I personally do hunt for meat, and it is very important to kill cleanly in one shot.

I've never fired a weapon at a live animal larger than a house fly, but I have played hunting games and this is useful information.

Why not aim for the head? Is it too hard to hit?

Another point is that your weapon of choice pretty much doesn't matter. This guide can be used for everything from spears to high powered rifles.
