I have to go with this too. I can't say I wouldn't take a neck shot if everything was ideal...but with that being said I've taken one neck shot in 29 years of hunting. Never lost an animal with a rifle, have lost elk with archery.

Now a neck shot with archery??? First time I've ever heard anyone say that...which really makes me think you're just having a little fun stirring the pot. I had a deer years ago that spun away when I released on a 47 yard shot and the arrow entered tight behind the shoulder and exited the neck, but I always target lungs with archery tackle.
