[QUOTE="pressman, post: 291359, member: 10980"] buffybr i have to agree and disagree all at the same time. you might just catch the windpipe but their is no way you are not going to have a blood trail shooting a BT bullet. I have ripped out the windpipe but i also took a few main arteries as well. now my agreeing part i don't think i would shoot a deer in the neck in heavy river bottoms or in heavy cover because you [B]might [/B]loose one. but shooting antelope in antelope country which is usually wide open. you would see him fall even if you all you hit was the windpipe a couple hundreds yards in a hurry is all he is going to make. and for the most part where i hunt 2 or 3 hundred yards is nothing. most of the time you can see thousands. My question is how many animals have you truly shot in the neck and lost. I personally have never lost one that was hit solidly in the neck. most of the time they never move out of their tracks. all of this is just my 2 cents... you have to shoot them where ever you think is best it is your hunt not mine.
