Neck shots on deer?

<< < (5/5)

RabidApache:
The reason why Ishi would make neck shots on deer was cuz he could. Simple as that. When your brought up as a kid in Ishis "days" he probably carried a bow and arrow everywhere he went from childhood to adult. Pretty much all Natives grew up in this manner. Ishi knew his capabilites. He knew if he had a non-vital hit he could simply track the animal until he followed up with another arrow or until he retrieved his quarry. Wether he tracked his game for 5hrs or 5 miles it was nothing for him cuz he had skills to do this ;).
But in this day in age....I ain't gonna starve cuz I passed on a neck shot. I passed on the neck shot because I don't have a "need" to make shots like this anymore. 

Cacatch:
Yeah, good point too.

   I've shot 2 and 8 point in the white spot I called.And  9 point below the white spot in a corn field I stalked.Only shot I had both times.Both died with in 50 yards.I here all the people saying O'GOD.But I was taught if and oppertunly comes up take addvanage of it(SHOOT).Or go home with out your deer.If you don't shoot you can't kill.Sorry but I kill my deer not harvest them.
