[QUOTE="Redmule454, post: 1354843, member: 7396"] The problem with neck shots is that if you hit too high you can stun the deer, knock it down, and it run off after it gains it's wits again. Not really a bad thing unless you are standing over it. If you shoot too low and only hit the wind pipe or esophagus the deer may run off to die a slow death from not being able to breath correctly or drink or eat. I prefer to wait for a broadside and put the bullet just behind the shoulder. It kills quickly and only damages rib meat. I had a chance to shoot a deer last weekend that was looking at me from about 30 yds, the brisket was covered by limbs so the neck was the only target. I was standing with no way to steady the rifle so passed on the shot. A brisket shot in my experience has always put a deer down in its tracks. In my book neck shots are just too risky. [/QUOTE]
