Neck shots?

[pianoman9701]

I've killed about a dozen nice deer with rifle neck shots. I've been told never to take a neck shot on an elk because the chance of a pass-through is much greater. Now, I only hunt archery and a broadside or quartering away shot is all that I'd take with a bow.

I have killed a few elk with a neck shot with a 270  and havn't had a problem. My dad will take neck shot on elk if it is available.  He shot an elk this past year at an elk laying down at 350 yards in the neck. The elk didn't know what hit him.
