Don't go apologizing 'cause it wasn't with a bow! It's not how you shoot 'em, it's how you hunt them. I take 2or 3 with a bow every year, and I continue to hunt the gun season the same way and take 90% within bow range. I don't get off on the ego trip of having to put a deer down because of what i shot him with. I can kill 'em with a bow, rifle, handgun, shotgun, and muzzle loader, and am equally proud of each one.
