Sambhur incorrectly recording head shots.
Can someone have a look at why sambhur report incorrect hits from frontal chest shots. A front on chest shot into the brisket area will often record a headshot when the strike point is nowhere near the head. This becomes problematic when competing in such competitions a immaculate antlers. I hunt Sambhur often and have seen this problem occur many times when the strike mark seen through the scope is clearly in the front of the chest and nowhere near the head. Today failed to count a frontal chest by including skull on a 180 t0 240 range stag during the current Immaculate antler competition.
Old hunters never die.They just sit around the campfires and tell the biggest lies.

Re: Sambhur incorrectly recording head shots.
Sambar hit boxes have not been done properly. Shoot down between the shoulder blades to get heart/lung and you will almost always hit spine 3. Hit further back and it's spine 2. I don't think I've ever hit spine 1 - possible that spine 1 & 3 are just swapped.

This problem is much more common with Sambar Deer, but also with Rusa Deer. When viewing the history of false injuries of the head is no longer there.
