I'm sure I will catch a lot of heat, but I have shot many(20 or so) meat deer in the neck. Before everyone gets in an uproar all these were shot under 100 yards with basically a sandbagged rest. I aim where the neck joins the skull. Every deer dropped like a stone. I wouldn't take this shot unless it was under perfect shooting conditions. Only take this shot with my target rifle(real half inch groups @ 100). In fact I shot a doe last year with my normal rifle behind the front shoulders at about 125 yards; I just didn't feel comfortable with any other shot. I am not advising anyone to take this shot. Everyone should know their limitations as far as accuracy and shooting. I feel I do. Flame away if you want but just my opinion.
