RE: Thinking about giving up the bow, going back to the gun.
Mike,
Sorry about the bad luck recently. Nobody but yourself can decide what weapon to hunt with. If you truly feel confident in your shooting and tracking ability then that's the way it goes. Unfortunately, it's part of bow hunting as well as gun hunting. This has hapened to almost all veteran bow hunters, yours just happened to come back to back. Double check the anatomy of a deer and shot placement. Sure kill shots are rarely lost.
