Why would you want to take the chance? Because you can that's why. I just aim in the middle of the neck (half way up from the shoulder, half way down from the head) and slightly back to get bone. This will drop a deer if you hit them there. Not on the ground struggling to breathe and limping as some might think, but stone cold dead as a hammer. If your a good shot, you can kill deer untill he DIES from it <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>. I've taken a few neck shots, mainly with my 30-30 (more accurate at closer range than my 06) and shotgun. Every one of them dropped on the spot. Keep the shots close and you'll be fine. And it works on broadside shots too.

&quot;Hey ya'll, watch this&quot;
