You didn't find it necessary to keep your lack of ethics to yourself.
If you are gonna post crap like shooting a deer in the neck with a bow on purpose then you have to accept the fact that it might not be greeted with smiles by all.

Famous last words............what exactly were you aiming at??? You can't tell anyone here that you are so certain of your ability that you can smack a neck artery on a live animal every time.........your only other choice is the spine and that is a gamble at best. You are first guessing that you know EXACTLY where the spine is (about a 2" target assuming you even guess right on) then you can never be sure your shot won't glance off the spine or the deer won't flinch even an inch.
You aimed at the center of her neck and hoped for the best...........as it turns out you killed her...........well you know what?? I can steer a car with my feet........but it doesn't make it a good freakin' idea!!
Your margin for error is little to none and your downside is tremendous. You would be hard pressed to find even one reputable source in print that would recommend a neck shot to bowhunters.
What's next???.............stories of "aiming" at the femoral artery or maybe a Texas heart shot??
[:'(]
BTW...........I shoot the eyes of my McKenzie targets when I get bored.............should I shoot the next deer I see in the eye because I "know" I can do it??
