Are Neck Shots Preferred Than Broadside Shot To Prevent The Damage Of The Meat?

I prefer a bit quartering where I can catch one shoulder on entry or exit to anchor the animal….in ribs out a shoulder…. or a base of the head neck shot….neck roast is good in the slow cooker.

I think the epitome of a head/neck shot would be on an ostrich, so as not to destroy the feathers for a trophy or the evenings ostrich roast? And, I'm sure some of the hunter/snipers on here could/would attempt it. LOL

Body shot. That head is constantly moving. You just shoot center mass. They die easy

Wild ostrich meat is black and revolting. No resemblance to the ostrich meat we would use domestically.

That's interesting. I have never killed an ostrich and have only seen one in the wild as they weren't endemic to the parts of Zimbabwe where I have hunted. I have always enjoyed eating ostrich meat when I've had it in the US, but now that I know the wild birds are nasty, I never will shoot one.
