This is more of a theoretical question more than anything. But suppose you're hunting a rather large game, say from whitetail to elk, but you're in a survival situation where you don't have the optimum caliber gun. Let's say that all you have is a .223rem, and don't have confidence that the round will penetrate to the vitals. OR, similar situation, you're surviving on the land, and you have a bigger gun, but the only target that presents itself from your game is the head and neck. Which do you aim for, and why - the head or neck? Seems like the neck is better because you don't have to penetrate a skull. But if your answer is head, then where exactly on the head do you aim for if given a choice? If your answer is neck, then where exactly on the neck do you aim for, if you have a choice? If your answer depends on which angle the game is facing, relative to you, then what are each of your answers with each possible angle? Thanks.
