    200 yards from an elevated position with a scoped deer rifle is not a hard shot. Hell, I’ve seen the argument, and it makes sense, that the neck was not the target. If the shooter misjudged the distance or the drop they could have been aiming for the head and it dropped further than expected, or aiming center mass and it dropped less than expected.

      Why does everyone assume trained sniper just because the shot hit the carotid artery? I’m guessing because they knowledge only comes from movies and games.
