That's normally when you see the biggest buck - when you only have an anterless tag!
Many years ago I shot a small 6 point buck (eastern count) during PA's archery season. I still had an anterless tag so I went out the following day in the same general area. I was hunting on the ground and wouldn't you know it, a doe comes flying past me on a dead run with a dandy 8 point right on her heels. I did the "BAAAA" thing to try and stop the doe. She kept going but the buck slammed on the brakes and was literally hand shaking distance away. I said out loud "Your one lucky SOB buddy". Needless to say he forgot all about the doe and just about turned himself inside out trying to get out of there, throwing leaves and dirt on me in the process.
