I highly doubt the buck would approach your stand in the same fashion it does during bowseason when they are unharassed.
If you were gun hunting you might have never seen these bucks because of the many more hunters in the woods moving the deer, and if you did happen to see one it might be while its hightailing out of the county. It's your choice that you are limiting yourself with a bow, but don't make it look like bowhunting is the more superior form of hunting because it's not. I myself put a lot of value into quick and humane kills. I think the expert rifleman will have way better chances in putting the deer down for keeps in comparison to the expert archer. Just because one chooses a more lethal weapon shouldn't make him any less of a hunter. Some people give priority to the surer kill with a firearm over these great challenges that bowhunters think they have. I surely do.
