[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 3297244, member: 2292"] Here's my take. Neck shots are fantastic so long as you hit that spinal cord. If not you got problems. The smaller an animal is the more likely its a spinal hit or clean miss. The bigger the neck is the more likely you hit meat/flesh and don't actually damage the spinal cord. Many elk hunters have found this out the hard way. (the mane on an elk makes their necks deceiving as well) Cutting the jugular will do them in quick fast and in a hurry also, but that's a way small target and you certainly cant depend on hitting it every time. All in all a neck shot is not the shot for me unless its close, max 100 yds, AND its my only shot. I'm certainly not taking that shot over one thru the boiler room broadside. That being said I don't belittle anyone who neck shoots so long as they do it responsibly. Of course I expect responsible shooting out of anyone slinging lead at animal, no matter their aiming point.
