I have heard or read this statement or somethng like it many times. "I passed him up with a rifle/mzl but I would take him with a bow."

What's the difference? He is dead either way and his antlers are the same size either way. yes, a bow is more challenging to the hunter but it does nothing to change the size or trophyism of the animal.

If I would kill him with a bow, I'd dang sure do it with a rifle. So what's up with that?
