I too bow hunt, but a gun is so much easier! I shot my biggest bow buck from 15 feet away (from a stand), and he was chasing. I actually switched stands as I saw a pair of bucks chasing a doe through a harvested field a over a half mile away. I did not even have time to nock the arrow when the trio came by, but fortunately he hesitated close by. I stalked my biggest gun buck while he was bedded (till 20 yards away). He was tired.
