I almost always hang my bow up until there is a deer within a reasonable distance. I don't want to hold on to it for a couple or few hours at a time, when I can have it within easy reach. Just put your bow hanger in a position that lets you pick up the bow with the least amount of motion. I put mine so that I just have to move my left hand about a foot to grab it. Then, if a deer surprises me, I can easily get it into shooting position. If your big buck came in that fast, I doubt that the time you spent grabbing your bow would have cost you the shot. Sounds like he was covering ground fast enough that you didn't have a lot to work with anyway. Just my thoughts. . .
