All of my stalking is by invitation, I can shoot doe's whenever I like but Bucks when invited, the trade off is that all deer must be neck shot.
I would prefer to take engine room shots but the game dealer insist on neck shots so that's the estate rules, take em or leave em!!
The taking of neck shots significantly reduces the number of deer I shoot as I pass up many shots that if could be taken if chest shooting.
I like to be as certain as possible when neck shooting so range is reduced to about 75 yards max.
I have not had a runner yet but a pricket that dropped on the spot was very much alive but totally paralysed.
It certainly is a killing shot but I don't think we should limit ourselves to this shot only, keep it in the locker just in case but better off reducing the margin of possible error and hitting the engine room.
