    Yip vertebrae but where on the neck? They are quite long Toby...
    Close to the shoulder, in the middle or closer to the head?

    It will depend on what angle the deer is standing relative to your line of sight and which part of the neck you can see clearly after identifying your target.

    A Deers neck is the absolute last place i would aim to kill a Deer.
