Deer gets revenge after hunter shoots him

This guy probably should have paid a little more attention during his hunters safety course. He's lucky to be alive.

SEDALIA, Mo. - A hunter bagged a big buck on the second day of firearms season, but the kill caused him a lot of pain. Randy Goodman, 49, said he thought two well-placed shots with his .270-caliber rifle had killed the buck on Nov. 19. Goodman said the deer looked dead to him, but seconds later the nine-point, 240-pound animal came to life.

The buck rose up, knocked Goodman down and attacked him with his antlers in what the veteran hunter called "15 seconds of hell." The deer ran a short distance and went down, and died after Goodman fired two more shots.

Soon Goodman started feeling dizzy and noticed his vest was soaked in blood.

So he reached his truck and drove to a hospital, where he received seven staples in his scalp and was treated for a slight concussion and bruises.

I'd guess that he will be on his toes the next time he shoots a deer.

So I'm willing to embarrass myself. Sorry, it's long. My first buck was a spike that I gut shot on the archery hunt. I was 16 yrs old and new to hunting. After three and a half hours of trailing bood, spooking up the buck and trying to get a more lethal shot, I finally found myself within a few yards of the downed animal. In a last ditch effort to get away the buck kicked it's hind leg and snapped a small quaking aspen in half. I thought wow that could have been my leg. After waiting another half an hour with no movement from the deer, I thought it was dead. It was on a slope and as I approached it a leg slipped out from under the deer I didn't know if the animal was still alive or not so I threw a rock at it. Still not sure. I got a long branch and poked the buck behind the ribs. The deer's leg slipped a little further down the slope. I was now ready to put a third arrow into the animal but didn't want to shot it if it was already dead. After more rock hits with no movement I finally assured myself that the deer was dead and proceeded to clean it out. Not a fun task when you've never seen it done and you gut shot the animal approximately 4 hours earlier.

So hears the embarrassing part. That experience has been ever present in my mind each time I approach a downed animal. I have a hard time assuring myself that each animal is dead. A few years back I couldn't make it to deer camp until the second day of the hunt. On my way in several bucks passed infront of my truck. I got out an hit one a ways up the mountain above camp. The buck dropped in an opening visible from camp. As I approached the buck it lay in a foot of fresh snow. No rocks. But hey a snowball will work right. If one is good then four or five direct snow ball hits would be better right? Not when your camping buddies are watching you through spotting scopes and binos. When I got to camp they asked if I expected the deer to return fire. lol

So I'm known as the guy that throws rocks and snowballs at dead deer. At least I haven't had to go get staples at the hospital after a mauling.

Ha no doubt that's funny but hey at least your making sure, its better to be possitive than just think its dead, and its a lot cheaper when you don't have to go to the hospital.. lol :)
