That is a fine deer, you are in the same boat I am in, I killed a brute of an 8 point here in Va. in 75 that I will be hard pressed to top, luckily for me that was with a gun so I don't have that problem with bow.:D

RE: Once it a lifetime buck
 

Why were you bowhunting in gun season? I've thought about doing that to get a chance a monster that was hiding in an area that can't be gun hunted. Was that your motivation? WoW! Nice buck! Good thinking and glad it paid off. Sometimes you gotta get creative. (all the time, really).

I bow hunt all of the time during gun season. Yes some areas are bow only but a lot of my areas I could use a gun. However when I look back all of those years of gun hunting there was only a handful of deer I couldn't shoot with a bow. I would say less then 4 or 5. So I don't gun hunt anymore, I only bow hunt.

The only thing I can't figure out is here in NC you can only hunt with a bow during black powder season in state designated bow only areas. Why? What does that mean? That makes absoulutely no sense and I guess one day someone will be able to explain that to me. Til then, I hunt still with bow only and I hope my interpretation of the law fits with in their interpretation.

I did gun first weekend of gun season, in our area it is shot gun only and you can only hunt one of those weekends unless you buy a multi zone license back in 1993. No one gun hunts on our land second weekend of gun season, everyone else hunts around our land and that can push deer around to our land. I do not think he was not pushed towards me, he was coming back to check his scapes. In MN we can bow hunt during all gun seasons. Bow hunt is the best way to hunt farm country I think. All my niehbors ask me were are the deer are because they gun hunt only. They do not scout much except watching deer coming out of the woods around dusk. This I have been watching 6 bucks that are in there groups yet. Two of them are close to 150 mark. It is going to be a good year, never seen so many bucks in one year. Saw 5 other bucks in different areas. Thanks for the replies gentleman and good luck too.
