A neck shot has always been my favorite target with whitetails. I have not lost an animal, or failed to down the deer with a single shot. I am fairly particular about the angle with neck shots though. I won't try that shot unless the deer is facing me fairly square.
I try to picture a line drawn through the deer, and plan the angle of my shot accordingly, to hit the heart.
