I manage my farm for deer, with QDM management techniques. Unfortunately there are slob hunters on both sides of the equation. I began bow hunting in addition to rifle hunting to increase the likelihood of actually seeing bucks. I keep track of individual deer, and found this year as well as many other years, that fences as well as autos take quite a number of our bigger dear. One particular large buck died in August from Bluetonge. It claimed a huge number of Kansas deer this year. When you are in the field constanly, you suddenly find out nature can be quite severe as well as hunters.

At a deer check station in NW Virginia, about 15 yrs ago, I saw a 6 point in the bed of a pickup with an arrow in him. Nice shot, just behind the left front leg, at or very near the heart. The arrow was also embedded about 1/2 inch into the bed of the truck. Hellofa shot!

Deer can and do duck arrows. It's one of the risks to taking deer with a bow. I see plenty of people wound game with both, I agree that the margin of error is smaller with a rifle, but I think the average bowhunter fires FAR more practice shots than the average rifle hunter prior to and during season.
