Anchoring game. Why high shoulder over neck shots?

[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2933764, member: 124909"] I shoot high to mid shoulder. I started shooting them that way 35 years and hundreds of deer ago and there is no way I would ever go back to behind the shoulder. The loss of meat bothers me a lot less than losing the whole animal or having to track through hell for 2 hours. In bad terrain at night a 40 yard ghost run is an eternity. Nothing wrong with behind the shoulder if that's your preference but I'm not doing it. The high to mid shoulder shot gives a lot more room for error than a neck shot. I will head shoot also but deer move their head a lot which can make it risky. Hogs are easy to head shoot. Or lower ear shoot. Because it's a larger target that doesn't move as quickly as a deer.
