    Neck Shot Placement Diagram

    This may be a stupid question, but does anyone have a diagram or photo showing the best shot placement for a neck shot on a deer? I've always done a shoulder shot. I think I know where to shoot on a neck shot but am curious as to see exact placement that others prefer on the neck.

    when I have to, I shoot right where the neck starts. In the area that's not exactly the shoulder or the neck. It has never failed, they drop like a brick.

      When do you "have to" shoot it there?

      Any pics of the exact location?

        I have always been a neck shooter and always aim for high neck just below head where I know I will hit spine

              1. When I want to make sure the animal goes down right away and I don't have to look for it.

              2. When I think my gun is under-powered for that particular game which is seldom because a .270 can kill just abut everything in Texas.

              Just hit the neck, the bullet will either hit
              a. the bone
              b. a bunch of blood vessels
              c. the bullet shock will knock them out.

              The animal won't go far.

                      I think you're over-analyzing it. If you have a "hunting rifle" and you hit the neck you'll be good.

                      Don't graze or hit the edges, hit the center where you know there are a lot of blood vessels and bone.

                        Ive been accused of over analyzing stuff in the past. Its a problem.

                        Let me put it this way, when aiming for the neck, are you aiming for the center of the neck (when broadside) or top 1/3 of the neck or something different?
