Three years of bowhunting, three shots, two dead deer. Missed on my second shot completely, the doe jumped the string and only ran 5 yards, nocked another arrow and double lunged her. All the deer I have shot at I have recovered. I for one believe it's futile to believe you can go your whole life without wounding a deer. It's going to happen sooner or later. You can't avoid it. I'm not looking forward to that day it happens to me. So I practice and practice to put the odds in my favor. That's all anyone can do.
