I disagree. I accidentally hit this buck in the neck (arrow deflected). He ran MAYBE 15-20 yards, and was dead in seconds. There was blood everywhere. It was an accident, though, and would NEVER try to hit a deer in the neck.
Then what are you disagreeing about!
I'm not sure I get your point either. I do you disagree and then turn around and validate the topic?
You were lucky that your poor shot severed the jugular vein (or other major vital) and you were able to recover that buck. I say poor shot because any "good" shot with a bow will not strike an obstruction and will be unimpeded to the target. My bet is you either took an ill advised shot thru cover or you took a shot outside of your comfortable shooting range.
