Largest buck I've killed was the second day of bow season, had seen him two days before the season opened with two similar sized bucks. I shot him late int he afternoon and then waited an hour to start tracking, it took til midnight to track him down as he'd run more than a mile through some thick swamps. Started to drag him out and discovered he was laying on a yellow jacket nest. Since I'm allergic I had to go back to the car and rig up a suit with rain jackets, trash bags, and duct tape before I could go back and move him off the nest. Got to bed around dawn.
