deer shot

[WT Kevorkian]

A bullet doesn't have to hit the spine itself on a neck shot to imobilize a deer, the shock to the spinal column is what does the job. If you center punch the neck that deer will not get up, I have shot close to 100 deer in the head and neck and never had one get up, call it what you want, I hate tracking deer, and its a much cleaner job come time to field dress them too. By the way a deers brain is a whole lot bigger than a walnut and you have got at least a large apple sized area that if hit will completely immobilize the deer instantly, and there are a lot of people who can hit an apple everytime at 100 yards maybe not off hand but with a good rest,,, absolute piece of cake. I don't pass judgement on anyone and I respect everyone's feelings on this but if someone has taken the time to practice with their gun and has 100% confidence in taking a head shot,,,, carried out correctly it is the most humane shot that can be taken, there's no running, walking, nothing,,, maybe a little quivering and that is it! To each his own, and I can agree that there are a lot of people who have no buisness attempting a head or neck shot and do so anyway just for an ego trip, that said the irresponsibility and poor shooting ability of others has no bearing on the effectiveness of head and neck shots carried out properly.
