I am a fan of breaking both shoulders.  I like when they drop right where they're standing and I don't have to go look for them.   :tup:

That having been said, the neck shot was my stepdad's favorite, and didn't waste as much meat (if it's done right)....Dad would have been proud of this one... :chuckle:

Just above the front leg.....Used a soft tip ammo, he did a 360 and dropped, didn't ruin the meat nor his leg..After cleaning him the bullet mushroomed up, and severed his throat.
Hey grunt, a liitle hint take you shell holder and cut a tiny hole in the bottom back and put your sling swivel threw it and it won't slide up toward the grip anymore  ;)

Cant count how many deer and elk I have taken with neck shots.None went anywhere but straight down. The last few years I dont do it as much as I used to.Dont know why. Did shoot an elk in the neck from about 100 yards with my muzzy a couple years ago.He was standing looking straight at me.Figured I would either kill him or miss him.Fortunately it dropped him in his tracks.

90% of the time its the head or neck..If I do have to shoot for the body, its a spine shot.. I hate tracking..

If they're close enough, right in the ear, or the neck, depending on what's available. Too far for that it's right behind the shoulder.  I hate wasting meat.
