Mandatory bowhunter education will do nothing but waste everyones time! Why not just man up and realize that deer are going to be lost,,and everyone that hunts is going to loose a deer at some time or another,,i've been archery hunting for 24 years and yes i lost a nice doe this year in the early archery season at 5yds,,,wtf happened is still unknown to me but i lost the deer,,,bottom line i probably should not have taken the shot,,,but i did! I practice all summer,,,and i shoot 3 arrows everynight before goin to my stand to make sure everything is right (especially me) and that doe still haunts me 4 months later.

what are you worried about,,,from your posts there are'nt any deer where you hunt,,,all the deer have been killed by the guys using their kids tags!
