RE: Neck shots ethical????
timbercruiser... it's funny you mention a hip shot. I took one this year at my crossbow 8 point (not on purpose) it hit just behind the lungs, a little high and back. (around the bottom tenderloins) that buck only ran 60 yards. He had blood POURING out of him as the ran away. He left a 12" spray all the way to where he laid. When he was running away, it looked like someone had their thumb over a garden hose... obviously I'm not good enough to hit that exact spot everytime, but it worked this one time.(thank goodness) I'm like the majority of the guys on here... double lung works for me. I do have a hunting spot where the adjacent owner doesn't like hunters and isn't real keen on people tracking deer onto their property... if I get over there next year for shotgun and/or muzzleloader, I'm going to try a head, neck or high shoulder shot I hear a lot of guys talk about...
