Yes. On public land during gun season with a bow. You should of seen there faces at the check station when I dropped the tail gate. Patients, Patients, Patients. Never seen him before I shot him, but I found his beadroom and sign left behind.

The largest in range, Yes. He's big for my parts but in no way huge. He grosses around 120. That's not the biggest I've seen while hunting but the biggest that has given me a chance to arrow it.

Sadly enough, I have only harvested 2 bucks with a bow. Both of them were small, one was a 1 1/2 year old when I was in highschool, and one was a 2 1/2 year old. The year I shot the 1 1/2 year buck, the week after I had a 140" class 12 pointer 20 yards away for nearly half an hour but only had a doe tag in my pocket..........[:@]. I had to let him pass and never saw him again, no one else saw that buck either ever again. Than last season I had a 120" 8 pointer under my stand but I couldn't see through my peep because it was too early. By time it was light enough to shoot he was 60 yards out and I wasn't comfortable with the shot. I have shot and seen a few good bucks when rifle hunting though, but nothing over 120".
