I was reading a post on another forum and this guy said that he missed a shot and he was kinda upset.Just like most of us are after we miss, but there was a group of people telling him that he was unethical for shooting at the neck. They went on and on about this shot until they locked the board. I really see nothing wrong with a neck shot. I have taken plenty of game with this shot. But what was I wondering if any of you have some misses that you would like to share with us. I know all of us have missed at one point or another.
Back about three years ago I shot at a cow elk with my bow, and ended up sticking a little sapling that I didn't see in front of it. The shot was a poor one, one that I would normally pass up on. But that day I thought that I could make it. Came close but no cigar.

I know a lot of guys if possible like to go neck or head just so they do not damge meat. I do not see anything wrong with that at all myself. I have missed a few deer just from plain stupidity. One year I had a buck, in some brush that I could see all of the way through, staring right at me. I shot for his chest and ended up horn flashing him because I did not account for the fact he was down below me in a valley and I was higher than him. But you know what that is why it is called hunting and not killing.

I missed a 340 class rosie last year at 45 yards? ? I have killed six elk with a bow head on ( you want to talk about controvercy put that on another forum) !!!!!!!!! I don't recomend the shot but if ya know your equipment and your ability it is a easy shot and a quick kill.

My uncle hunts deer with a .22-250. When I asked him if that wrecks alot of meat he told me he shoots for the neck. Personally I think you should aim for the boiler room but to each his own I certainly would'nt pass up a shot if I could only see the neck and it looked doable!
