RE: Close-Range Neck Shots
I've herd that neck shots have a high probability of damaging the spinal cord. this should lead to paralysis or death. but u always here of that story of the deer that wouldn't die. my mom and her boyfriend go to this party called the deer and beer party. everyone brings their mounts and eat, drink, dance so on. there was this nice 170+ score non-typical on the wall. shot by a teenager in Wyoming, New York. he tells the story and when it was all said and done, ten shots had been fired. 5 were hits, 1 to the face, 1 i believe to the guts and the other 3 to the chest. if i remember correctly the deer took three shots before he slowed down. deer a tough sons of bit#*es ain't they. anyway i would take a neck shot but only of i didn't have a chest shot. this year I'm hunting with some lightfield 3" sabots. i think they push 465 grains at 1800 ft/sec. OOOOOOOOOOOOH I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT DOES TO TISSUE.good luck to all and hunt safe.
