The good old, neck shot !
mullet:
i tnink if I was going for it, I'd try to put one just below the ear at the base of the jaw. Chris Cade shot one through the neck straight on and it bled out in 20 yards.
Justin Snyder:
When I worked at the PD I saw a man that was shot in the neck. It passed straight through and he was released from the hospital within hours. :o
I think Jamie hit it right on the head when he said the "largest" vital area. There are a lot of things we cannot control, why not increase the odds when we can. Justin

You talking Guns or Bows here???? If I am hunting with a Rifle...and I don't Hunt for a Trophy....that crap just goes against my Grain....I Hunt to fill the Freezer.....and I take Head Shots...100% of the time....I don't eat Antlers....and a 7MM don't tear up the Antlers anyways!! If it is a Bow....well thats a Horse of a different color....I always try for a Quartering Shot that will put you straight into the Vitals...with out Big Bones getting in the way....my favorite is a quartering away shot....but I will take a frontal too...straight through the Sternum

I am no expert , but have arrowed a few animals ... from my experiences a neck shot is one that should be avoided unless you are absolutely certain of your ability to hit the vital arteries... I once shot an elk at twelve yards with a recurve and six hundred grain arrows. the arrow stuck through her neck dead center.. she ran off and quit bleeding after about a hundred yards. I never found her and spent days in the woods looking. To this day I imagine someone seeing that elk walking through the woods with a primitive arrow sticking through her neck and cussing those damned bowhunters.. still makes me sick thinking about it...A lung shot will do it every time.. I promise... good shot placement and sharp points will bring success, and awesome blood trails.. Hawk a/ho
