[QUOTE="dk17hmr, post: 409002, member: 21384"] I have shot alot of deer in the neck with everything from arrows to bullets. Most of them dropped, one however ran about 150 yards crossed a creek and went another 50 yards before bleeding out, that particular buck was shot in the jugular with a 100gr 3 bladed Muzzy broadhead. [IMG]http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f208/dk17hmr/8pointer.jpg[/IMG] I shot this one exactly in the heart, he ran a total of 45 yards and I saw him drop. There was blood spray on both sides and very easy to track. From the shot to sticking my knife in him was about 5 minutes and he was done kicking 30 seconds after the shot. [IMG]http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f208/dk17hmr/Dougs9point2008.jpg[/IMG] My dad shot this one with his 30-06 at about 95 yards only part he saw was the neck and he needed meat in the freezer. He lost the deer through recoil, went out and looked and found it dead right where it was standing the snow wasnt messed up where it would have been kicking. It just dropped like someone pulled a rug from out under it. [IMG]http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f208/dk17hmr/DSCF0017.jpg[/IMG] The furthest I have had a deer run with a heart lung shot was about 75 yards, the furthest I have had a neck shot run before dropping was around 200 yards. Take it for what its worth. I like neck shots and take them when conditions are right...if not I let the air out of there lungs, either way tracking isnt a big deal. [/QUOTE]
