Very true!!

Critter's heads are tough stuff indeed. A while back I shot a big doe in the mouth with a 140 Prvi Partizan in 6.5x55 at about 10 feet. Bullet shattered on the teeth and came to rest in the back of the jaw. We have pistol-shot many dozens of butcher critters here on the place over the years, and many of those in the head. Horned critters even like polled, hornless sheep have amazingly tough heads, much more massive over the top than comparable-weight black bear.
