This is a topic in another fourm as well. In my very modest opinion, you should also shoot for the vitals. Bigger target, higher chance of kill even if you miss somewhat.

That being said, a neck shot may be all that presents. If you trust your skills, go for it. However, I wouldn' t want to lose one that I neck shot. Once a deer has been hit, I usually take a neck shot to put it down if necessary. However, it' s always at a really short distance.

P.S. I’m not posting these to get my numbers up ; I have been watching this board for a while as a guest and feel I have something useful to add to the conversations!
