For the record, I don't aim for the neck, (with a gun)unless I have a gimme on a doe. Don't like messin up the shoulders. If I shoot adeer with abow it's heart/lungs all the way. With a rifle in my hand, I nock the front wheels out by centerpunching his front shoulder. I really think, however that no matter where you shoot 'em there is a chance at losin 'em cause they are tougher than any man that tried to sack punch me. Hee! Hee!
