Some deer survived for up to 5–7 days before succumbing to their wounds. "71% to 82% of all shots taken" miss the target[30] and "shot placement is, for all practical purposes, random".
Any animal hunting with a bow should should be banned along with trapping.

Quite a apparent you are not hunter and fully believe your statistics are made up. Archery happens to be a very successful method of removing deer from the population in fact in Massachusetts the archery harvest now rivals the number taken with gun. Look what archery has done for Long Island in Moultonboro. Archery is a very effective management tool for managing the deer harvest.
