A nine point, he was just a little over 100 inches with 3 broke tines. He is the only buck I've ever killed with a trad bow.

Here's my biggest buck and only buck with a trad bow, I suspect it will not be my last, lol... I have only been shooting traditional bows for a couple years, after many years of shooting a compound bow. I never have been much into rifle hunting, even though I love to shoot them at paper.

I've never measured it. Dressed out at just over 200lbs. When I first saw him about two weeks before getting the shot, none of the tines were broken.

Here is a look at a couple of my biggest.
The first...a long time ago...taken with a Robertson was a horse. Look at the body. Big ole' SW KS buck.  Probably still my biggest.  But a close 2nd was last years from SE KS with a Shrew CH.
Both very special bucks to me.

These are the two bucks I shot with my recurve bows both shot in my home state of PA. They are both my biggest deer taken with any weapon but im glad I got them with my recurves.

Lots of nice deer here guys. Congrats to everybody!

Here in about 4 weeks I'm going to be in the woods after my first trad whitetail. I've killed some nice ones by other means. But I expect my first longbow kill will be very special. I've never worked so hard for anything in my life.

Let's keep this one going. I love seeing all these trophies right before season. It gets me even more pumped!

This is mine with a bow.  This is a state land buck in an area that gets hit real hard by people so it is a huge accomplishment for me.  He was running with a bigger 8 when he came in he just gave me the first opportunity.

the biggest in antlers is a 156" 14 pt killed in Ok. a few years ago. he only weighed about 140 lbs  but the most special is a 138" 8 pt taken on a back pack hunt. he was a little over 200 lbs  alot of issues were overcome on that hunt.

I don't mean to boast about this beauty. But this was a public land giant.  Also my first trad kill.  I think he grossed some where around a very conservative 8.3".

Here is mine. A 132" 9 point from last season. IT was my first trad buck and to date my biggest buck ever. I called it in and shot it at 15 yards while on the ground in a leafy suit in a cut bean field. This will always be a special memory.

Biggest body, he was 268 live wt as I recall.  A 5 1/2 yr old.


    (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/RyanRothhaar/08IowaBuck2cropped.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/RyanRothhaar/media/08IowaBuck2cropped.jpg.html)


Its been many, many years since I scored a deer.  This would probably be my highest net scoring one, though.  He was 4 1/2.


    (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/RyanRothhaar/04Iowa1.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/RyanRothhaar/media/04Iowa1.jpg.html)


For sure my oldest deer.  He was an old warrior, 6 1/2 yrs old at least, maybe more.  Killed him when I was 17.


    (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/RyanRothhaar/ohio.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/RyanRothhaar/media/ohio.jpg.html)


This one I did measure the spread, tick over 23 1/2 inside.  He was 4 1/2 yrs old too.

And the newest decent one...from 2102, he was a 5 1/2 yr old buck.

Nice buck and one to be proud of jsweka ! Not everyone (me included) live in areas that produce bucks like some of the others here kill. The areas I hunt don't have giants and deer numbers are very low. I could and use to travel out of state to the popular trophy destination and have done very well with modern equipment, but my idea of success has changed as I've gotten older. But with that said I still chase the best whitetails I have available to hunt !;^)

Thanks John, We have two or three top shelf deer stuffers (my wifes term) in the area. That was the largest bodied deer I've killed so far. The taxi had to order a special form for it. The chest was enormous.

Yep. It's all relative to where a guy lives and hunts. Even down to the property.
Very true.  A buck the size I posted would have been almost unheard of in PA prior to enactment of our current antler restrictions - especially on public land.  When I was a kid, the area I killed that buck in was noted for only producing spikes and 4 points.  "Curry Run Trophies" as we called them.  Times have changed in PA for the better.  Still nothing like the mid-west, but much better than what it was 20 years ago.

Here are my PA bucks from the past 3 years.  The last photo is a nice one I shot in MD ten years ago.  There are some incredible bucks around the eastern shore of Maryland!  A whitetail paradise.
