My uncle used to hunt this way. He started out using a compound many years ago and then moved on to a new challenge. He started making his own bows, arrows which consisted of picking out the wood and making his own arrowheads out of flint and using deer tendons to tie them on the shaft. He also made his own moccasins and would stalk deer. He was very successful using this method, but after a few years of hunting this way he gave up archery altogether. Thankfully, this year he decided to get back into archery and is going to go out with our group a few time this season. If i was at home(I'm at college) I would show you a bow he gave me as well as some knives that he made using an arrowhead tied on with tendons to an antler. It is really cool that he was successful this way.
