I hear that neck shots on deer are UNETHICAL?

Merry Christmas.

Here in PA, a deer bagged that is unfit for human consumption, can be reported to the WCO who takes the carcass and issues a tag for the hunter to hunt another deer. I have seen some, far too many in my view, that were injured by botched shots by archers and rifle hunters.


I agree, far too few hunters spend enough time at the range to really be proficient with their arms. I have shot muzzleloaders for more years than I care to remember, but I have not found ML accuracy comparable from, say, a M98 with good handloads or with the Swedish M38 6.5mm at 100 yards.

What is the best, and consistant, 100 yard group you have had from any muzzleloader with iron sights?
