Neck shot ethics

[Cut324]

I usually always bow hunt and last year was the first year I shot a deer with a firearm. I drew a state park hunt which is firearms only. I'm shooting a .44mag and had a prefect neck shot opportunity but never more than that. I opted not taking the shot. After talking to some people who've hunted a lot longer than I have, they say it's an ethical shot. I'm so used to bow hunting not sure if I should of taken that shot? Thoughts?

Well I guess that would depend on distance and how comfortable you feel with your weapon/ experience

My personal belief…..never take a neck or head shot. When they work…..pretty amazing results. However, I've seen the results of both gone bad…..a very miserable, agonizing death for the animal. JMO memtb
