Everyone wounds deer!!! Some wounds lead to the quick death of the animal others are more slow to bring the reaper. Some never do the intended damage and the deer lives. Unless you are shooting the deer with a shotgun in the head and cleaving the brain from the skull then for the most part aren' t all bow hunters " wounding the animal?" If it runs fifty yards and piles up, wasn' t it wounded from the time of impact until the time of death?

BOTTOM LINE- If you do not practice with your bow. If you do not become automatic with your bow. If you can not accurately guess yardages. If you can not field judge deer. You need to hold off on hunting until you acquire knowledge. Compare it to getting a drivers license. you do not just walk in and grab your pre-printed license and go drive a car. You go first with someone who is experienced. You gain knowledge on the subject. Practice and practice more before handing alone a life taking object.
