Most that have spine shot a deer really regreted it after wards. If you have any feelings for these animals at all its not the way to go. It is not a very pretty sight. It does work if you don't want them to run away though. I have seen it done, and I don't think I could bring myself to do it. I don't think I would take a neck shot with a bow either. I might try it with a high powered rifle, but I bet when it came down to it, I would pass on that as well.
