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?????

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.

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!

The 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

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.

top of the heart. this means BANG-FLOP
