I have been bow hunting for 29 years and I can honestly say I have lost 2 deer with a bow in that time . First one I tracked for 3 hundred yards ... bad hit in the liver ... really great blood trail till I found the bed but no deer and no blood ... found out a few weeks later the farmers son walked up on her and finished her off ... he and friend carried her off ... hence no trail....The other I lost and then found a week later and that was a bad shot do to a steep angle and a mechanical rear deployed broad head and ultimately poor judgment on my part.That said I have been hunting almost as long with a gun and have lost 0 deer.... thank god I was brought up to respect game enough to practice ,be proficient,and persistent.
To be honest this post in my opinion is trash .... too condemn the sport of bow hunting for mistakes , lack of faith, or poor judgment is wrong . This post gives fuel for the antis to use in their inflammatory campaigns against the people that enjoy the sport.
