I was just browsing and ran across this discussion so heres my two cents worth, I've been deer hunting for over thirty years and have only shot one deerbehind the front shoulder just to check bullet performance, it made a mess and for a long track. Every other deer (there has been many) has been shot in the neck and have never taken another step, as far as ethics this provides a very fast kill, the other ethical question is our you qaulified to take neck shots, if you put in the time to pratice and our confident in your ability Neck Shoot if not don't.....I far as buck fever goes, if you can cover 5 shots at a hundred yards with a dime(I can with every rifle I carry) a little "fever" want make a difference, if you consider accuraccy hitting a pie plate at a 100 don't take neck shots and just to stir the pot It could happen next season, but as of now I have never missed a neck shot and you want either if you spend the time at the range, thats the question, our you and your gun qaulified to take Neck Shots, you can be if you take the time, you owe it to your prey!!
