I think the reason alot of people consider neck shots unethical is because come hunting season, you've got alot of people hunting who _might_ get one day of shooting a year.
The ones who say "sightin? why? i sighted my rifle in 10 years ago, and it's always worked fine".
Neck shots can work as well as any other, IF the hunter places it correctly. It's a smaller target usually though, and very hard to hit from some angles.
Alot of wounded deer, come from missed neck shots, or shots that "just" hit abit high or low but didnt kill the deer.
So the general consenses probably came about that "neck shots are unethical" to help prevent those who quite frankly don't have the necessary skill or patience to do it right wounding or crippling game.
That's just my thoughts, any others?
