I have a confession to make - I'm addicted to hunting videos. Every week I make a pilgrimage up to the Bass Pro Shops and always manage to come home with a new DVD to watch. So far this year I've picked up Drury's Whitetail Madness 8 and Dream Season 8, as well as the first season of the Dream Season TV Show, Kisky's Whitetails Taking it to the Extreme 5, Wild Outdoors Most Wanted, Primos Truth 12, and now Primetime Bucks 9.

They're all great productions with a lot of really good footage in them but I've been very disturbed the the amount of deer being shot in the neck. At first I thought maybe it was just a fluke - an error in judgement - a mistake, if you will. But after seeing at least 4 or 5 shots that I can say were purposely taken either directly at the neck, or quartering in front of the shoulder I just don't know what the !#@% is going on here. Did I miss the boat somewhere when the great Gods of bowhunting came down upon us and said "Go ahead and shoot deer in the throat, it's okay."?

So what's the story here? Am I seeing more of these shots just for the sake of having video footage to show people, or are there more and more people who honestly think this is a good shot to take?

Discuss.
