RE: What would you do?
Like Jerseyhunter I also keep my bow on a safety line. Dropped my bow the very first time I went bowhunting. Fell out of my lap as I was putting on my hood net. After that I learned to keep a safety line tied to it.

RE: What would you do?
I would probably, no I would, but then again I would. I dont know it has never happened to me.
I would let the deer pass. Then I would kick myself, go recover my bow and check for damage, if there was no damage, I would have to laugh. But, I would learn from my mistake.

RE: What would you do?
Only time I dropped my bow it was out of a 18foot stand and the deer didn' t give me a chance to climb down and get it. I guess if I were hunting on the ground, I would try and slowly pick it up and try again.

Why are you in the woods? To kill a deer, that' s why. Can you kill the deer without
your bow? NO. The only chance you have to kill that furry critter is to get your bow.
I would try my damndest to sneek down the tree and get my bow. If the deer spots
you, tough luck, at least you tried. Don' t sit there like a tree-hugger, kill that darn
deer. Good things happen if you take chances once and a while. Don' t be affraid to
shake things up out there. Be aggressive, good hunters usually are. If you do get
down to the ground without the deer spotting you, inspect your bow very close so it doesn' t blow up in your face.
