Thread: The Hilar Shot

The base of the neck - not mid neck but in the crease - is a very good shot. 10's of thousands of deer were shot by meat hunters in the base of the neck.
I started using it as a preferred aiming spot after reading Newton McConochie's book in which the boys were shooting big heavy Red Stags with 303's and Army surplus ball ammo all in the base of the neck and the stags all dropped where shot.
