[QUOTE="rost495, post: 56800, member: 1768"] That last neck wound is why I don't like neck shots at all. You either have to hit perfect center or get super lucky and by missing low catch the blood pipelines. OR cut the esophagus and or windpipe and let the deer suffer a slow death from infection. Or you go high and have a superficial wound that normally heals just fine. Add all those errors to a center lung shot and they all become certain kills. Some of those exit wounds are HUGE. And one wonders with a wound like that some run, with pin holes others drop. Just depends on the situation. Another good photo is of the spine snapped. Look at it from the outside and the shot is not super high. Shows how low the spine sits. Especially when going into the neck. Lots of non vital tissue above the spine. Especially for arrows. Now that I know that the SMK can open that violently, I'm gonna stay away from them. If you would hit anything other than ribs you may have no deer left. Thanks for the info. Jeff [/QUOTE]
