What's the largest buck you've shot and killed with a bow and how far were you from the buck?

My largest with a bow was a 10-point Mule Deer (in velvet). Shot him at 38 yards, 2 years ago. I have no interest in scoring, so never measured him. He's in the pix below.

Got it this year---2nd buck with a bow. A 7 pointer with a 14 inch spread and good mass. Shot him at 22 yards with a Thunderhead.




It's the time spent in God's creation with family and friends making memories that counts.

My biggest was a 10 point that I killed on a public drawn hunt. Shot him at 20 yards and he did a back flip, got back to his feet and was looking around to see what happened. Put another Muzzy through him and he ran 20 yards and was done. I have been on this public draw archery hunt 3 times and have killed a good 10 point every time. I have not measured any of them to give a score because to me they scored "just right".

This was my first year with a bow and my biggest buck had 2 points haha but he sure does taste good. Shot him at 12 yards with a Rage. Deer season wasn't so good to us this year but hopefully next year will be different.

Thanks guys!! Would you believe I had one way bigger than this one earlier in the morning? He stayed out about 50 yds from me with a tree between him and me. The deer I shot was 16 in wide. This other one had to be 20 in or wider. Also, he had longer times as well, especially on his G1's. Probably 8 to 10 in. brow times.
