Wouldn't try it. My dad shot a buck that was working a scrape line a few years ago. Around 20yds and the deer caught him drawing and froze. The only shot he had was the neck, so he shot him right in the spine. Thought the deer would drop, but he didn't. Found the arrow and a little blood for about 200yds then nothing. Later that afternoon I smoked a buck crossing a power line about 3/4 mile away from where my dad was hunting. The deer made it about 30yds. When I came up on the deer, he had blood all over his neck. I was confused because I knew I had shot him through the lungs. Rolled him over and there was my entry right behind the shoulder. Turned out it was the same deer. He was walking normal. Skinning him out I found where the broad head had notched his spine but didn't break it.
