Some very good advice indeed, the only thing that I could think of adding is always, always, always follow up your shot even if you think you missed and can' t seem to find the arrow that you think is lost in the leaves. Follow the direction the deer went for 50-100 yards and look for the faintest spot of blood until you can be sure it was a miss.

Case in point, I had a novice bowhunting buddy hunting with me a few seasons back and he took a shot at a doe at a marginal distance and thought he missed. When I approached him, he was looking for his arrow, and was pretty sure he missed and not excited at all. So I suggested we follow the trail for a ways and see if he did indeed missed. Low-and-behold after about 30 yards of trailing we found small specks of blood. To make a long story short, we found the doe dead within 75 yards, and she had a marginal hit. The key was I told him to stay in his stand till I came and got him at 10:00 (he shot the deer at 8:30), and that we still thoroughly investigated his shot.
