RE: Next Time It's Kryptonite Bullets...
RutSniper, give Handles some leeway - we heart/lung advocates have heard plenty of people espousing the neck shot as 'the only shot you should take,' and saying that we were ridiculous to worry about missing, only to hear plenty of stories just like yours. The 'try it for yourself' thing is very valid, until you realize that 'trying it for yourself' might have condemned that buck to days, weeks, or months, of agony, possibly leading to a painful death that does nobody any good (since you wouldn't be able to find it at that point).
All that aside, good luck on finding him and dispatching him.
