I'll head shoot one tomorrow with a 325wsm for yaBaseball ... maybe a softball. My friend used to don't all the time but the one time I was going to do it I messed it up. Doe moved as I shot . Not a sight I want to see again by my hand .

I'd like to know how many eat deer ribs ? I've tried to cook them so many ways that you could cook them but they are trash . Shoot em right behind the shoulder ! Oh now that I think back on it I did shoot a five point once in the head . He was running a doe and I shot at him running wide open. In mid stride he hit a tree , popped one of his antlers off . Mistake my gun was shooting two inches wide left and three inches high . I hunted Tellico opening morning and fell busted my stock but didn't know that it had also knocked my sight off. That ole five point was messed up couldn't drag him by his other antler it just was as loose as the other that fell off it was just still attached. Thing was had shot my biggest buck with my gun off as well he was just about a five yard shot 
Lord smiled on ole Snake that time .

Took several bucks with head on shots to the brisket with center fire rifle and numerous neck shots . Caveat is center fire rifle 308 . Never with mz or archery.
My best buck to date is a 145" 8pt that was about 150 yards away, facing me. I had one shot, square into his front, which I took. I was shooting a 7 mag. Bullet was found under the fur on his hind qtr. he ran maybe 5 yards.

If you feel confident ..... Stay within your abilities, if you practice regularly you should know your limitations.

Super nice buck brother .
I usually carry a 30-06 as well but for a ,40 yard shot I'm unholstering the 45 Blackhawk
