I didn't call you out, actually I commend you for posting the photo, (which is not an ideal result) that can then be discussed. I asked the question of why a shoulder shot and you have given a valid answer. The topic is meat wastage so posting a photo invites critical comments.
In another post I said that I consider advocating for shoulder shots is unethical because of the meat wastage. What is your opinion on that ?

its OK guys I believe I may have worked out where the confusion /controversial opinions are coming from...
If I was hunting animal with long skinny neck that is easy to see,that lived out in open grasslands and moved slowly....that DIDNT have shoulder as such to speak of and whos main source of mobility and the locomotive bones to drive these were buried inside giant drumsticks....yeah I think I too would be neck shooting....
@Nwke great post ,great post indeed,your 404 bit reminds me of why fellas are hooked on .45/70,big hole you can pretty much eat right up too.
