RE: Neck Shots ?
"A neck shot makes them harder to find?" Most of the rifle shot does and a lot of the bucks I've killed were neck shot. Between probably thirty or fourty, they traveled a total of ZERO yards after the shot. I shoot them right behind the ears where the neck meets the head. As far as destroying meat, there is less meat there than just about any shot besides a head shot. A deer shot behind the shoulder or through one shoulder will inevitably have a large amount of blood-shot meat in one or both shoulders. The reason I don't head shoot them anymore is mostly cosmetic. A 130 grain bullet striking a skull at 3,000 fps makes quite a mess.
