Thread: Neck shooting

I neck shot a ton of goats with a .22 when I was a young teenage hunter, either center neck or off to the side drops them, the shock factor will cause enough trauma to make them hit the deck, smashed vertebra or not.

+ 1 ,they use to complain a bit but you don't need a big caliber to neck shoot .
Pigs will go down like a sack if shit just the same neck shot with .22 .we found was best to use a solid projectile but worked fine.
Always used the .22 to knock over the beast for the freezer but they got the pill center of fore head .
