[QUOTE="Muskrat Outdoors, post: 2271440, member: 119188"] That is the kind of thing I delt with guiding hunters. A "bad shot" not meaning you didn't shoot well, just missed that neck bone. The bone itself is not a very big target. There is just too much to go wrong with neck shots. I hear all the time "You either missed it, or it drops in it's tracks". Many are wounded, and will die, but bleed very little and people think they missed when they didn't. We owe the animals we are hunting more than that. I have taken close range neck and head shots if that was all I had, but I try hard not to do it. Most times you can get a better heart/lung shot if you wait......sometimes they run away instead!
