I've used the neck shot with success a number of times. Closest shot was about 10 yards, longest was better than 200 (facing me). In fact I shot 2 does in the neck this year during gun season. Both on a full run, both one shot kills. I'd say that seeing a deer cartwheel at the shot is a testament to the effectiveness of the shot placement. However, if you don't know where the spine is in the neck, wounding is possible. I don't have any problem with neck shots, but I've never screwed one up. JMHO
