This will be my last reply to this particular thread.

For all the new hunters out there, those who get the least bit of buck fever, can not drive a tack within the range you are shooting a deer at or you are not totally familiar with the anatomy of a deer (not from pictures) do not try a neck shot, head shot, or busting a shoulder, shoot the vitals PLEASE for the sake of the deer and yourself! I know I can do a neck shot (I have done one), but I will never do it again because of the amount of meat wasted, and will rarely take out the shoulders, I shoot for the vitals period! If you have the skill and the knowledge to neck shoot a deer, waste all the meat you want to and go for it. Head shots 90% of the time are a very poor shot, and I will never take one.
