Deer gets revenge after hunter shoots him
Quote: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.

@Robert Gentel,
It's a good thing the Second Amendment protected the buck's right to hold and bear antlers.

And it wasn't afraid to use them......
@dlowan,
... which is why this hunter had to pry them from its cold, dead head.
@Thomas,
Would it have been cold already?
@dlowan,
Sure -- I don't think the hunter did the prying at the scene. On reflection, though, I would concede that he probably pried the antlers, together with the head, from the buck's cold, dead neck. Certainly the hunter would want trophy.
@Thomas,
Heh heh...hunter HAS trophy...on body.
Scars.
I think the "two well placed shots from his .270" speaks volumes.
First off, you rarely get two shots on a whitetail, unless they are heavily into the rut and stupid on testosterone. And certainly you don't get a second shot if you hit them the first time, unless you knock them down....so, something doesn't add up. He must have made two poor shots on the deer, the first a complete whiff, the second, a single lung shot. He was also probably using FMJ rounds - a big no-no for hunting.
