I wouldn't give it up. Bow hunting is where it is!! There is nothing like getting the deer in close enough to take a shot with a bow. I don't know if you're new to hunting or not, but you might check your scent control and learn as much as you can about pre-season scouting. I'm still learning myself, but I believe in scent control and I'm still trying to figure out how to find well traveled route for deer. I got my first deer with a bow this year. I started bow hunting last year, went out every chance I got (20-30 time) last year. I saw a lot of deer, but made a lot of mistakes too and didn't get to harvest one last year. I got my first deer with a rifle last year, but no luck durring archery season. Stick with it, there's nothing like taking your first deer with a bow and once you do, you'll be hooked for life. Read all you can, watch all the hunting shows you can, and ask all the question you can, you'll get there. Good luck.
