A great write-up John and I couldn't agree more.
A friend shoulder shot a very large bodied 60" bull moose and then experienced rifle problems so he asked me to put him [the bull] down.
At 80 yards, I shot the bull in the neck with a 300 WSM and 180 TSX bullet.......he shook his head and took a few steps.....again I shot him
in the neck and he continued to stay on his feet until I put the third shot into his lungs. I couldn't put my arms around the neck of that bull.
Both neck bullets were recovered but the lung bullet exited the far side. Both neck bullets expanded as in Barnes ads but did little damage
in the neck muscle and obviously missed the spine.
I've assisted several friends with hunting the local wild bison herd and the bison is another critter that I wouldn't recommend shooting in the neck
as they are just built different and are a very resilient animal. The spine in the neck area is very low.
