Default RE: Neck shot

ORIGINAL: seller

Is there ever a situation where you would take a neck shot? I would think it would be fatal if you get the spine or the wind pipe.
the first deer i shot was a neck shot at 10 yards that went just under the spine and jaw bone that cut the jugular and windpipe....i shot the shot after reading ahunting aftical that a neck shot was a quicker kill then a body shot....it didn't say anywhere in the artical they were talking guns, so this rookie took the shot at dark and scored with a perect cross from the broadhead through both sides of the neck....turned and run only 10 yards and stopped, all i heard was it gurgling as it was bleeding then just fell over within 15 seconds....the only other time i hit a deer in the neck was from my arrow hitting a small twig i didn't see just before the deerand got lucky as the arrow moved upward from the lungs to the back of the neck where it joined the skull, that deer died within seconds too.................bob
