Not sure if this constitutes a "big" but it's my best with trad gear. Shot him first day of our Kentucky bow season this past year. I have several trail cam picts of him and was hoping to get him still in his velvet. He shed it the day before I shot him for I have picts of him two days before with it in tack. Bow was my SA III Widow with a 4 blade magnus 100 grain head a 3555 Gold tip with a 50 grain brass insert. Hit was high lung at 27 paces. He went about 150 yards.
Also here are a few more I've taken with trad gear.

Ok I am not sure if this is my 1000th post of my 2003 buck or 1001 but what the heck I can't help myself I am still proud of him. Obviously it is the same buck from my avatar. Shot him with a Robertson Vision Falcon an Easton 2117 and a Magnus 125 gr 2 blade. 12 yd shot while he had his head in a mock scrape I made near my treestand.

its my biggest to date. I shot him with a 58# custom recurve that a buddy made me. It was a four yard shot slightly quartering too. I hit him in front of the left shoulder and it emptied out in the middle of the right shoulder. He went about 50 yards and laid down and never got up.

Thanks Buff
Those are Ohio deer. It's been a little tougher to find ones like those in the Black hills. Nice film job on the texas deer! I filmed some of my own hunts on my video. It's pretty easy at water holes and turkey but Whitetail can be really tough to do your own. Gotta shoot em twice.
Nice deer Biggie. Esp that 2 pt that scores 8 green. You've been hunting outside of GA. Haven't you. :)

Man, Guru,
You have those stacked up in a barrel to shoot!??!? Those are dangerous bucks...meaning I'd fall out of the tree.
Here's my best to date last December. Arrowed the doe then 4 minutes later the buck followed her exact trail, nose to the ground and took an arrow within a yard of the arrow that just passed through her. In our part of Georgia deer were stocked from the barrier islands on the coast...i.e. small bodied. This is a 3.5 to 4.5 year old buck with a live weight just shy of 150. Steve

Yeah Biggie, it is some very tuff terrian!! Luckily this was one of the few that stayed on top of the ridge. Most die or fall to the bottom and make for some very long and exhausting drags.

Hay Curtis(SouthMDShooter). I have to agree with you, that does look wider than 22" and that is an awesome deer. However, the two you took in WV are also great. Keep up the good work. Oh, by the way, if the pictures in this post don't get your blood pumping your not a red blooded TradGanger. Good hunting and Keep'um sharp. :notworthy:

This WT buck is not my biggest archery harvest. That was in my compound days but this was my first deer with a recurve.

I know he is not a WT but this bull was taken on my trip to AK on an outfitted/unguided hunt. I am pretty proud of him and how I did it. He is no giant but a trophy to me.

I have worn this picture out posting it but here goes again.
I shot him with a 62# osage bow I made, wood arrow I made and a store bought Zwickey delta broadhead. The best part is I shot him off the ground from a home made, natural brush ground blind. The shot distance was about 5 yds. He didn't know I was in the country and walked right through a tight funnel I built my blind close to.

Not my biggest, but it is most recent. Shot this guy last night on our third day of the season(9/17) in eastern Nebraska at 10 yards with the 'Green Machine' Pronghorn TD Longbow and Woodsman head. I have his right side sheds from '06 and '07; he made a quantum leap in size this year, adding approximately 26". I believe he is 4.5 years old.

That's a good'n Irish ! Looks like he had a pretty big body too with a big block head like that.
b.,,,I live on the far west side of the state. I hunt both IN & IL but I have to say that since IN came out with the "one buck rule" our number of mature bucks has GREATLY improved! I can sit on the front porch and watch a couple of good bucks now,,it hasn't been that way for at least 20yrs around here.
Thanks to everyone for posting their pics, I can never see too many of them, especially with trad gear. Nothing against other equipment! ;) :saywhat:

Took up Trad in 2005.
Here are 2005,2006 and 2007. I don't think any of them qualify for "big" but are the ones I'm most proud of, simply because of how they were taken. Bowhunting with trad gear is like starting all over again.
