The last one I remember taking was on a buck tending a doe in a thinned pine stand. I could see him every now and then, for seconds at a time. He wouldn’t leave her side but wasn’t pushing her. I ranged them at 140 yards and settled in on the center of his neck because that’s all I had. Thankfully I hit true but don’t make a habit of it. That was in 2008. I don’t recall taking another neck shot since. A 1” high or low impact is the difference in DRT or temporarily concussed and running into the next county 10 minutes later. I just don’t see the point in taking high risks shots when there’s a 12-16” circle of lung, heart and liver to shoot. Lol ,,, some times you just got do what you got to do .
