I have been watching and waiting for one particular buck to have a close encounter with. This morning after first light it happened. He came by me at 15 yards and I was just amazed at his tine length. My slug gun would have to wait for another time however for his right beam was gone just after the brow tine. I will be looking for his shed and thinking about next year now.

Wow what a bruiser of a deer, he has to be 160" + with that amazing tine length. Too bad he was missing that side, but you should feel you won half the battle by getting within 15 yards of him, Hopefully he's hanging around next year for you.
