Ummmmm.... WTF?
Quote:Man kills buck with bare hands in bedroom
November 2, 2005
BENTONVILLE, Ark. --For 40 exhausting minutes, Wayne Goldsberry battled a buck with his bare hands in his daughter's bedroom.
Goldsberry finally subdued the five-point whitetail deer that crashed through a bedroom window at his daughter's home Friday. When it was over, blood splattered the walls and the deer lay dead on the bedroom floor, its neck broken.
Goldsberry was at his daughter's home when he heard glass breaking. He went back to check on the noise and found the deer.
"I was standing about like this peeking around the corner when the deer came out of the bedroom," said Goldsberry. The deer ran down the hall and into the master bedroom -- "jumping back and forth across the bed."
Goldsberry, about 6-feet-1 and 200 pounds, entered the bedroom to confront the deer and, after a brief struggle, emerged to tell his wife to call police. After returning to the bedroom, the fight continued. Goldsberry finally was able to grip the animal and twist its neck, killing it.
Goldsberry, sore from the struggle, dragged the dead animal out of the house.
"He got kicked several times. He was walking bowlegged for a while," Deputy Doug Gay said.
At this time of year, a buck that sees its reflection in a window often charges, believing it is fighting off a rival, Gay said.
Goldsberry had the deer butchered.
"He's in the freezer," the man said before walking to the kitchen and showing off pounds of freshly wrapped venison.
Now THAT'S one bad-ass man.
I just keep thinking - wasn't there another way? Shut off the lights, close the door - the big old beast (the deer) would find his way out, no?
I thought he should have concentrated on getting it out of the house, instead of that supid macho theater he put on.
I think he should have tried to reason with it. Make it understand that for its own sake, it would be happier out of doors.
Open the doors, and get the humans out of the way?
That might have worked. This isn't the season to offer a challenge to a buck. It's also the season in which they can charge without provocation, believe it or not. Whitetail aren't a very big critter, but they're tougher than a boiled boot.

I find myself agreeing with Edgar a lot!
I never agree with Edgar, he's a texan.
Hey Onyx! Great to see you.
Although, it can go the other way around too:
Quote:A man died after being attacked by a 6-foot-tall deer that he encountered in his back yard, officials said.
Ron Dudek stumbled onto the deer Sept. 25 when he went outside to pick tomatoes. The buck struck him in the face, ripping a hole in his cheek and ramming an antler into his mouth.

I also, concur with edgar.
that man sounds like an idiot.
You know tho, you have to wonder why he had to "emerge from the room" to tell his wife to call the police....
What? Was he just quietly wrestling with the deer and the wife didn't hear?
"Honey? sorry to disturb you, but there's a deer in the bedroom I've been fighting with for 20 minutes or so. Could you please call the police? If you need me, just make sure you knock before coming in."
Jane - yikes!
Chai - yes, if he emerged from the room, why did he reenter it?
prolly had something to do with the two 6 packs under his belt.
Hey, I've got two six packs of Lone Star under my belt and I didn't kill anything like that.
So Edgar what would you do if you had actual beer under your belt?
