When I was still hunting I preferred to take a neck shot on deer if I had a good opportunity. If the deer was walking I would shoot for the heart/lung shot. I did not want to risk a neck shot if the deer was in motion. My 270 win would drop them where they stood if I got a neck shot. If no neck shot possible they ran for 15-30 yards then dropped. 40% of my kills were neck induced.
