I’m not a bow hunter so this answer will be a bit off topic but I was raised with deer rifle hunting and was taught to “Shoot them in the neck to not waste any meat.” I’ve personally seen over 40 deer get shot in the neck and not one of them didn’t fall immediately to the ground. So I don’t know what this talk is about spine shots or jugular shots as the only way, when a bullet from a high-powered rifle enters the neck of a deer (anywhere) the deer falls immediately, there is no discussion here. However we hunt with very skilled shooters so maybe a neck shot isn’t recommended for everyone, I just wanted to clarify that a neck shot is an immediate kill and if anybody tells you otherwise they don’t know what they’re talking about. However, I’ve learned how to cook the neck meat properly so I may change the game plan.
