Well they can, but a miss can result in a lot of tracking or lost animal that will die. Everyone has their opinion, etc on the best shot, but the true tested and only shot we are all told will kill an animal is where you aim now....so if it is available don't chance it. I have seen guys try to get cute and blow jaws off and it is not pretty and down right inhumane.

If you are confident in your abilities of placing the bullet, of course the perfect neck shot will drop them! But with the chest cavity you have more area than the neck to kill that animal quickly, anybody who disagrees with that is ...well i won't even say it!
