My go to Bow for my Southern, River Swamp style of hunting is my 52# Osage Flat Bow. It is not only capable of dealing with deer and hogs, but I can, and have taken the string off to beat briars and brambles out of my way. I have jammed the end in the mud two years ago and pulled the skiff back to the bank, which kept me from checking the depth of Turkey Creek (off the Tom Bigbee River.) I feel it is a tool as well as a Bow.
There is just something more rewarding about making meat with equipment that I have made with my own hands.
