mauser if you want to knock a deer flat and have it incapable of going no where and have a large target to shoot, go for the shoulders, you still mess up alot of good meat, just as you do with a neck shot, but if a deer has his shoulder blown apart they can not go anywhere, and unlike being off 1/2 inch on a neck shot and wounding one, or having a three mile tracking job, take out the shoulders, they go down right where they stand.

You are very right when you say you will do what you want to do, but shooting a stationary target and one that can move at any time is a whole different story and even though you may successfully make a neck or head shot, if you shoot enough deer eventually it will jump up and bite you, either with an unrecovered deer or a very long tracking job.
