Any good hunter respects their prey, and a key part of that respect is to try and kill it humanely. Ideally you will take it with a single bullet or arrow. You should know where to shoot a deer regardless if you are hunting with a rifle or a bow. If you can’t reliably achieve one-shot kills, you should practice until perfect and it’s as simple as that.
