Two days after Kyle missed the ‘Brow Tine’ Buck, the huge buck returned to the same location and left a glamour shot on Kyle’s trail cam.

You can see from the photo how close Kyle came to bagging the large buck that was at the bottom of a steep ridge when Kyle shot. If the wound wasn’t from a ‘rut fight’ – Kyle’s near miss is heart breaking.

Here is what Kyle had to say,

… I have been trying to decide if I was going to show anyone else this picture since I got it yesterday afternoon – it’s a whitetail hunter’s worse case scenario. This picture was taken 26 hours after I missed it on Tuesday night… It’s back out and there and there is at least 6 other bucks in the area.  It’s part of hunting – so thats why i decided to send it on.  Maybe, some of your Bloggers can get something out of it. The only thing I can suggest is to always aim lower on a steep ridge. My only comment is “What a tough old buck”.

Thanks for the photos Kyle. I’ll keep my eyes open for this buck this weekend. Where is Heartbreak Ridge again…?
