Bow hunting is beyond immoral. It is the ultimate act of despicable cruelty by hunters fueled with a thirst for killing by the most hideous of means. It is pure evil to commit any living being to such a horrible mix of agony, pain, and death.
Watch this video and you will see that bowhunted animals do die a slow death. The quotes came straight from hunting websites.

An Analysis of Deer Management in New Jersey
At the beginning of the 20th century there were few deer in our state. In the following years, deer were stocked and bred for the sole purpose of recreational hunting: Deer were reestablished in New Jersey by sportsmen-conservationists for the purpose of sport hunting. Since that restocking period the responsible agency (now the Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife) has been managing the deer resource for this purpose. An Assessment of Deer Hunting in New Jersey.
That mission, creating deer for hunters to kill, is now well into it's second century and still being carried out by the Division - whose employee salaries are paid by the sale of hunting licenses - and the NJ Fish and Game Council, the hunter controlled state board that has power over all wild animals.
In understanding who is responsible for the current size of our deer population, it is important to acknowledge the vast measure of years that the Division has been actively increasing deer herds. To this end, an overview of the Division's deer program will be examined decade by decade, from the 1950's to the present day. Planting program - During the fall of 1957, 223 1/2 acres of land were prepared and planted with rye. The operation involved 75 locations in South Jersey and included the application of 69 tons of lime and 43 1/2 tons of fertilizer. Division of Fish and Game Annual Report, 1957-58.
The annual report for 1958-59 states that, ...416 wildlife food patches were planted throughout the state... and that they distributed ...94 1/2 tons of fertilizer during the year. These are not isolated incidents; a further survey of annual reports from the 1950's and '60's shows yearly progress reports on near-identical planting activities.
Creating food for deer to eat is a crucial component of the Division's design, and it was part of an over-arching plan for enlarging deer herds that was brought to fruition in the 1970's: From the mid-1970's through the 1980's, the Division and the Fish and Game Council sought to allow deer numbers to increase within sections of the inner coastal plain including Salem, western Cumberland, Gloucester, northwestern Burlington and western Monmouth counties. By 1990, with the exceptions of Island Beach State Park, a small portion of Cape May County located below the Cape May canal and a few other isolated areas, deer occupied all available range.
