Default Elk: neck shot?

I am sure this will stir things up >>
I have heard that neck shots on Elk just don't work. I keep asking myself why? I know a Elk is not a whitetail so lets get that straight first..BUT the physical make up of each animal is the same with respect to proportion. I know its a small target but results are outstanding on whitetails. So why if this is such an effective shot on a whitetail please tell me why results on an Elk not the same?
We are of course talking about a well placed shot high in the neck just below the jaw line AND we are talking about Elk loads..not whitetail loads.
Is there anyone out there who has taken this shot or continues to take this shot with good results
