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

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

He dropped in his tracks and what I though was DRT wasn't he was still alive crawling to the ditch on his front hooves. I went to shoot a second time but he rolled in the ditch. Of course had to get down run down there and shot him in the back of the neck with my .270. On that deer I hit high shoulder and spine.

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.

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!

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.
