If the guy next to me this year wouldn't have aimed for the neck I probably wouldn't have taken my buck. Luckily he did and missed so I got a chance and dropped him with a shoulder shot. I just like the fact that I have a larger target area in the shoulders. Neck shots have to be placed perfectly and have a higher miss rate than shoulder shots. If someone wants to take a neck shot that's fine with me, to each his own, but I'll stick with my shoulder shots.
