Default getting discouraged...bow hunting after gun season?

I have went bow hunting twice now and missed an awesome buck today. Im depressed. He was a BIG chested beautiful 8-pointer, biggest I have seen in a long time. I mis judged the distance and my arrow went right under him. Is bow hunting not good after rifle season?
