My best with a recurve. Not huge but circumstances make it a great trophy. Shot from a stand about 7 ft high , he was about 9 ft from the base of the tree.

This deer died in a pond. It's the first and only deer I have ever retrieved naked. On Google earth the straight line distance from the tree I was in when I shot to the pond was 285 yards. I knew the deer was dead based on shot placement however I made the mistake of getting out of the tree too soon. Was a very hard track. Shot the deer at 5:45 found him at about 10:00 pm. My best buck to date.  I'm
Not very good at this btw.  But I enjoy it.

I've passed a lot of antlered deer the last three seasons.  Always looking for that mature buck, passing the young ones hoping to see then next year.
Finally got a poke at one with some age but not a lot of bone. That said it's probably my 48th (wag) with a bow but  only my second with a traditional bow.

My biggest trad critters are African animals. Kudu would be the biggest. As far as whitetails go, this is my highest scoring buck:

But I think this deer was bigger, even though he didn't score as high:

Not only my biggest, but my only trad buck so far. I've killed several bucks, but the first with my recurve was pretty special.

This is my best so far, taken last Friday morning, shot him at 5 yards working a scrape. Trail camera was setup on the scrape and was fortunate enough to get this pic of him looking up at me not a second before I shot him.[attachment=1,msg2982148][attachment=2,msg2982148]

Not the best scoring antlers for me, but by far the largest bodied buck I have ever seen. Over 300# field dressed. The scale only went to 300#. Was bottomed out.
Osage self bow, river cane arrows, obsidian heads. Taken from the ground.

Post by: chefrvitale on November 15, 2021, 07:27:37 PM
Not sure which will score better.
Both were great hunts, my deer last year was heavy....dressed out around 200#. This year my buck was smaller but might score better.
