I've seen a hit JUST like this before...I did it. I shot an 8pt with my .270 at about 30 yards. It was dead on...and I aimed just below the white throat patch.

I was 16 at the time...and I was right just a little. Took a huge chunk off the deer's neck. He fell over and I finished him off. That was a fluke hit, though....Not a through hit like the one described here.

I question the pic a little...but can't really doubt it's authenticity. Acutally, don't care. LOL
