Score of one that got away?

When I lived in Iowa I had research plots on public ground where anyone could hunt. So there was a giant buck that started bedding in one of my plots. After the second day in a row of scaring it at like 30 feet, I decided to take my longbow and drive my own vehicle. Well, I bumped it, it starred at me, and I sent an arrow right where I was looking between the horns. One of the federal workers there got it and it scored 187 or 178 typical after deductions. I don't remember for sure. I wiffed so hard at about 10 yards.
