Just my opinion BUT, basing your hunt on the intent to shoot an elk in the neck with a muzzleloader is reaching pretty high on the HOPE pole.Getting ANY ethical shot may be the best case scenario.

I would think ESPECIALLY in the case of ML hunting that one would select the most anchor-on-the-spot target location.
Unlike single shot cartridge rifles, reloading a ML demands your full attention, a shoulder hit may only give you another lost elk story.
Each to his own, I've never even hunted elk with my .58 cal.
I find no "sport" in the actual killing of an animal, actually a touch of sadness after the elation of success.
That's why I have zero use for bowhunting.
