"...A deer can be killed, effectively, no matter what the position..." Yep. If your deer anatomy knowledge is good enough and you can place the right bullet in the 'vitals' and have the shooting skill to be able to place the shot exactly and have a rifle/ammo combination that will do it. A 'going away' shot is fine, if you can place the shot in the back of the neck.
"...more deer are lost every year to rifles than bows..." A bow is a different thing. Archers tend to be better hunters and don't take shots they known they can't make. Bow shots are generally taken at much closer ranges. Mind you, not all bow hunters practice enough. Neither do rifle hunters.
