One thing that shooting one in the neck does for sure, it costs more for a replacement cape at the taxidermists. Go for the lungs. I charge an additional $75 for neck shots.

spudrow...check your manual from Hunter/Bowhunter safety course..get back to us....................shoot em in da ass?????what?????

RE: Shot placement
 

Sorry but I have not gone to the bow hunting safty course. Enlighten me!
I of course am speaking about gun hunting. I would never aim for the neck with a bow. Better shot with a rifle.
One of the main reasons I shoot em in the neck is because they don't run away, they aren't stressed or all tensed up, which I believe adds to the wild taste of the meat, and to me it's more humane to make a quick clean kill. That's just the way I do it. Not trying to make anyone else do it my way. It just works for me.

If it is within 50 yrds I shoot it in the head. Within 100yrds the neck and past the 100yrd mark I go for the heart/lungs. If I ever get a chance to shoot a buck that I want to mount I would shoot for the lung/heart no matter the distance.

RE: Shot placement
 

How much meat are you wasting by a lung shot? The couple ounces between the ribs? If you even trim them for grind.

Lungs and heart for me!

:D:D:D:D:D:DThe Red is the heart, the White is the Lungs and the Yellow is the Spine.
I aim right between the Red and the White.

My buddy decided that shooting the neck was the way to go last year. Till he lost 2 does with this method. Heart-lung for me.

ditto, except for the head shots, thats just to nasty looking, specially with children around. I've done it before, yauuuuckkkk

RE: Shot placement
 

That'd be something to imagine, a doe on the ground, and where her head is supposed to be, all there is is blood, hair, and teeth![:'(]
Most likely the brains'll slop out like over-boiled spaghetti.;)
