The only reason I'm hesitant about a front shot is that it seems to be the shot that always misses in my experience. Every couple of years I get a deer walking straight at me with its head down. I've missed that shot 3 times when I was younger. I'd rather wait for a better shot if possible. If it's a doe, i've gone for a headshot. Made a mess of a deer one year doing that.

Wasn't clean....but it was quick and it got the job done.
