Ive bowhunted for about 15 years now and usually have one or two in bow range every year, and prbably 5 or 6 sightings that are out of bow range, but in range isnt always good enough, with a total of about a dozen p/y bucks within bow range, only one has offered me a good shot and hes on the wall, Ive got several between 100 - 120 but only one p/y. Gun is a different story, if I can see them where I hunt they are in range with a gun, but tats a different story.
