Not assumptions. Been hunting and tracking shot up deer for thirty years. I see what happens.
It could be you don’t get those calls because people see the arrow hit and know better than to go look for it.

Too many deer get shot up and lost and your answer is to limit weapons to a bow. If folks can’t kill with a rifle a bow will be worse. It Ain’t that hard.

I’m done here. Ive Had enough arguing with a fence post.
