I hear that neck shots on deer are UNETHICAL?

My first sentence in the post above was a quote from your first post, but I just made the last word, OCCASION, capitalized for emphasis. So, calling me out on it is kind of hilarious, since it was your words and not mine. By the way, it is the second sentence after the picture in your initial post.

Hey Fabsroman, the quote I made was in reference to some spectacular kills with a neck shot, which GD357 sort of alluded to in his post as to spectacular.

Regardless of whom makes the EMPHASIS, in this case it was you, I, being of simple mind, take them litterally, and so, if you refer to that as "calling you out" then you've been "called out" I guess. See, even I can misunderstand, calling out in my day usually ended up with a black eye for one of us, many times that bein myself.

Your emphasis, made it seem to ME... that you were emphasizing the OCCASION, which to ME meant you're understanding was that there was a significant number of times YOU didn't think that an animal would drop from a neck shot, spine shot, or otherwise disrupted nervous system IN ITS TRACKS.

This was ENTIRELY your doing. Now as to the rest of your post, I agree with you on most all of what you post, except that since you don't have experience with necks shots you don't have the benefit of seeing the result.

One thing I would like to point out here, is that most of us are shooting round balls or conicals of some larger diameter. This does a great job of expanding the influence of the hit.

Otherwise, have a very merry Christmas and a really prosperous New Year ahead....
