Science is telling people that with the Senneker Magnum spring, strike location on the neck is basically irrelevant, the spring + lock is killing via occlusion of the carotid arteries. Also, in study, high neck holds are a result of coyotes backing up once snared.
Tying high can certainly increase the number of high neck strike/hold locations, but can hamper lock up and also encourage premature firing of the spring. It is imperative that the lock gains the best hold possible prior to the firing of the spring. Tying low can also potentially assist the spring+lock position after trigger release, but is a scientific unknown at this point.
With the basic common neck snare, no spring etc, tying high was a great thing, but today’s game is different.
