I have taken all mine by shooting the neck too. Just thinking outloud. However, I am thinking that the area of neck, with lack of feathers would be a lot easier to penetrate to kill zone then through all the feathers to the little heart and vitals there. Believe me, I will am at the neck too, just wondering if anyone did, heard there were a few who still did, and in watching some of the DVDs out from companies, I would swear that they shoot some that way from the way feathers fly or the impact.
