[QUOTE="GDKinCO, post: 2668204, member: 111732"] I’ve had a few successful neck shot kills that hit the spine perfectly and had instant drops. I’ve had a few that were clean misses and occasionally got a follow up shot. My last bull elk presented a neck shot only at 15 yards. I was using a rifle I hadn’t hunted with in years - an early 1980s Savage 110 .308 with a Simmons 3x9 scope. The scope is mounted with low rings and I assumed I had a good idea of scope offset. I held at the top of the neck but not quite high enough. I ended up hitting vein/artery and windpipe and he went about 100 yards before he bled out and died. Left a blood trail that you could follow with your eyes closed. Got lucky, as this was close to a complete miss.
