Hit area, but not enough?

On the "Confirm Kill" Window/Harvest it show "Cérebro" (Brain in Portuguese) and even so it don't counted...how that works? Is the 16GA so weak?

Looks like Head, Skull, Brain, Left Ear to me. (My Portuguese is a little weak )

But it doesn't show the brain hit in the picture. What is your hunter name?

The same as the forum, and I put the link below the last photo, "Bighorn Sheep (F) 39.566"

This was not the first time it happen.

When the brain is hit it will show in red same as the other organs do.

If you shoot something with a shotgun (at least with buckshot), the red areas/organs shown on the harvest screen and those shown on the score sheet often don't correspond. If you need to hit a certain organ for a competition or mission, using buckshot is a lottery!

Its a translation mistake i think, Brain= cerebro, and in this case is skull= crânio(with no brain hit), apparently in the Portuguese version of the game the same definition "skull" was used for both separated body parts, the skull and the brain.

I'm almost sure it's not a translation mistake. See my post above - I've had this happen in some of my competitions when people tried to use buckshot for organ hits and I'm sure not all of them were from Portugal or Brazil!

True, but is happening only with buckshot or slug as well? it could be the ammo, or part of the problem of the hitboxes not working well, like when you shot a Dall double lung and she keeps walking like nothing, something is wrong at the moment of registering the impact of the bullet, in this case registering a brain shot.

I never tested it properly, but you see it mostly with buckshot. Slugs are probably simulated like rifle ammo and birdshot doesn't really matter because most of the animals you shoot with birdshot don't have proper organs in the first place (turkey being one exception, you could test it on them).

My guess is that it is in connection with how the pellets of shotgun ammo are simulated, but I don't really have a clue.
