RE: Since when did shooting a deer in the neck become an acceptable shot?
I took my best buck with a throat shot but guess what.....it was not intentional. Adrenaline and an unseen small branch between the buck and I resulted in a very lucky hit. I am old school guys and gonna give it straight as I was taught and still see it. Taking a neck shot atbig game is stupid and is definately not what bowhunting has been in the past nor should be in the present or future. Think about how small the kill zone is in the neck using a bow and arrow.Guaranteed that the odds on making a clean kill taking a neck shot are much less than taking a shot at the heart/lung area, mainly because the vital zone is so much smaller.
