With a rifle the neck shot is the majority of my shots. I keep them under a 100 yds, anything over that I will take the behind the shoulder shot.
You guys hunt the way you want to and I will hunt the way I want too. I have never ever wounded a deer with a rifle in 30 years of hunting.
I can make the shot and do so on a regular basis. I have no problem busting a squirrel in the head at 50 yds, so a neck shot is even easier. They are quick humane kills. Here in Texas we have some nasty brush country, every plant will stick you. Trying to track a deer in that stuff is bad news. Loaded with rattlers too. When I hunt with my bow its always a broadside shot behind the shoulders.
If you cant make the shot then dont, but dont tell me I cant. Like i said, I have never ever ever wounded a deer with a rifle, how about you ?
