Funny that this came up, but I was at my local pro shop talking to the owner showing him the pics of the buck I shot. Anyway I asked him if he had seen any really big ones come in(the shop is also a check station). He said that one guy had checked in a buck that would go high 140's. He said the circumstances were pure luck...you see, the "bowhunter" (I use that term VERY LOOSELY) came in the day before season opened and bought his broadheads. Opening day he shot the buck in the neck (he was supposedly aiming for the vitals)He promptly lost the blood and gave up the search. The next day while walking around "hunting", he stumbled upon the buck. Very lucky. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
