The largest buck I have ever seen was just after a heavy snow and just before dark. It was the opening day of rifle for Michigan and wanted to get my wife into hunting. Never got a shot at it (I could've, but I won't take a shot unless I am confident enough that I will make a good shot), but was a beautiful deer through the binoculars!
you are good hunter,wish more were like you.
i also let a 8 point walk the next to last day of archery, it was only buck i saw for 4 weeks of archery in WMU2G of pa.
it was 15 minutes too dark with rain storm coming, if it was gun season, he would have been on wall but not in archery with coyotes/rain coming.
