I heard it more than once, that the 30-06 is the worst cartridge based on the 30-06 cartridge

Not going to get into another pizzing match with you since we all know you know everything there is to know about everything---just ask you, LOL! PS: My statement was a simple opinion shared by millions just like you think your Remingtons are such a great gun that nothing could ever go wrong with them. Your post was just another ridiculous attack that actually is against site rules, but I'm in the holiday spirit and won't hit the alert button! Have a Merry Christmas and please realize there is more than your opinion on stuff discussed on this site that may be correct!

That makes about as much sense as saying OBozo is the best President ever, LOL!

I would agree with those statements 100%! There is no such thing as perfect.

Not really, when you look at BC ratio to weight the 06 compared to the 270 & 280 the 06 is lacking.

Not everybody wants to shoot real long range. The 30-06 has killed for decades, and will continue to do so long into the future.

I thought the OP was taking about neck shots........................?

Did he say with a .30-06 or at long range ??

Back on topic please !

Neck shots have been answered. A thread can have more than one topic. Can't you multi-task?

LOL! That's telling him Pete! Too bad my little one line joke with the gentleman that had to get down and go after his wounded buck got several people so wound up over nothing!!! One post didn't surprise me at all, but we'll let it go and to get back on track and make Sheridan happy I stated earlier my stance and it's negative on the shot regardless of the caliber used.

Neck shots will never be answered until it's your turn ........... I think ?

My stance is i'd never take a neck shot. If I can't take a double lung shot I consider it as having no shot. I'm not bothered by passing up shots.

Not sure you were asking me, but there's my answer anyway.

And a very good answer it was!!!

Will take and have taken neck shots. All the deer I shot in the neck dropped and never got improved had to cut one's juggler or take another killing shot. Only took a handful but if it's the shot and I got a good steady rest I will take it.

I didn't know it would turn into a pissing contest. .270, 30-06, .308, .280, 7mm-08 ( I can keep going) all are great rounds. I just prefer the .270 because of the trajectory. I killed many deer with the 30-06 and it is a great round to. Nothing special but it gets the job down and has for many years. I was just saying a bigger cartridge won't make up for a bad shot.

It shouldn't have turned into that and that's the ridiculous part of this whole thing. I made a little one liner because of my username with a little smilie at the end just joking around with you. Then a member blew it all out of proportion just to toot his own horn and go on the attack like he always does making personal attacks and it went downhill from there. I would hope that most know what you stated above is true, especially the last sentence!

totally depends on each situation. one time I won't , next time I might. just depends on how confident I am of makeing the shot

This is blasphemy. And so close to Christmas too.

Neck shots? This seems to be a popular subject these days.

They work very well.

I go for lung/heart shots, Neck shots are to chancy for me, plus crock-pot neck roasts our my family's favorite roast!

I would also lean toward the double lung shot, my 7mm liquifies the lungs. I do practice the stated position of keeping options open. I have taken one neck shot, the buck was moving through a timbered swamp and stopped 65 yards in front of me. If the deer turned and walked away I would never see it again,when I centered the scope on the head turned toward me I could see the white patch on the neck/throat. I squeezed and the 165 lb 8 point flipped in the air landing on its back ready to be field dressed. The key is taking a shot you have confidence in making!

Worked with a guy who said he only took neck shots with his bow because he didn't want to waste meat... I still laugh about that knucklehead

Another one of those "you can't fix stupid" people!!!

You're getting kind of boring. Do you make it a habit of insulting every Hunter who doesn't do it your way?

ATB

In the case of what he mentioned about the guy shooting a deer intentionally in the neck with archery equipment the answer every time would be yep! There is not much difference in calling the guy a knucklehead and what I did, especially when it doesn't even involve a site member. PS: You can always use the Ignore feature if you don't want to hear the truth!

Out of sight out of mind.

Your absolutely right. Deer that drop right there more times than not don't die any quicker than the ones that run 100 yards from my experience.

I personally shoot right behind the shoulder with a gun and about halfway between the shoulder and liver with a bow to give myself a little more room for error on the shoulder side.

Depending on whether your on the ground or close to it. You can do very well placing your arrow at the base of the neck where the great vessels run. My Rage heads leave a blood trail like an interstate. It's the same for a rifle. I guess some think only of the cervical spine when they think neck shot.



Not always the best choice but something to think about.

Ignore feature
 

Your insults are something new. I guess I hope you'll get over whatever loss is eating at you.

ATB

Tell that to this one that got shot by a stupid idiot! Now go take a hike because this is the kind of crap that eats at me when people hunt that don't know what they're doing!

Looks like Photoshop to me. I would not take a neck shot with a bow, but have and will probably do so in the future with a rifle. Yes a larger caliber rifle does not make up for a bad shot but it does help if you do screw up a little. I also think you should use the biggest gun you are most comfortable with and shot the most accurately.

This is not Photoshop.
Can we just agree to disagree, and go on to something else?
And drop this subject
Thank You.

It certainly wasn't a photoshop and I hate being called a liar! It was right off my file disc from a muzzleloader hunt I did in NM. I would have killed him even though he was a little forkie, but it was the day before our season opened and I didn't want to risk a GW citing me. Here's another view. As jrbsr stated, let's just agree to disagree on this and move on!

Different perspective I guess. There is an artery in the ass that will kill them quickly as well but call me boring I like to take shots that will serve me best over a 40 year hunting career and to me that is a simple fixed broad head through the lungs. Anything else seems like reinventing the wheel to me.

I'll keep that in mind.:D

ATB

That would be the femoral artery and anyone that would shoot at that probably would also take very risky shots at the neck too! I like your "simple fixed broadhead through the lungs" philosophy and that's what archery is all about for as close to a 100% sure kill every time.

Yeah its not just about what will kill a deer its also about what a person and their equipment can execute 100 times in a row.

I can hit a lung size target 100 times in a row at 20 yards and my broadhead will work every time.

I don't get to decide what others are capable of but I don't believe many people/mechanical broadheads can be trusted to do that.
