Hunter ends up wrestling with deer Associated Press Nov. 11, 2004 07:20 AM NORTH VERNON, Ind. - When hunter Jim Mick went into the forest to bag himself a deer, he never expected to come out empty-handed - and badly bruised. The 69-year-old bowhunter was treated for injuries he said he suffered during a wrestling match with an angry buck. Mick, of North Vernon, said the deer attacked him Monday while he was hunting alone in south-central Indiana. "He came out of the tall grass and briars," said Mick. "When I realized it, he was on me already." Mick said the animal, which weighed about 150 pounds, struck him in the chest and knocked him to the ground, goring him in the thigh. "All I had time to do was throw my hands up and grab his antlers," he said. After about a 10-minute struggle, Mick said he managed to put a tree between himself and the deer, and the animal retreated. Mick put a makeshift bandage on his leg and returned to his vehicle to call family members for help, he said. "It was probably a draw, but I think I got the worst of it," Mick said. "I don't think he had any gouge marks on him." |

Put in for rifle next time. All this, "you're not a real hunter unless you use blackpowder" "You're not a real hunter unless you use bow" "You're not really hunting unless you go out with just a knife".... Whatever. Just kill the son of a B*****! Put a hole through his heart and be done with it. And eat well. I wonder if he'll hunt again with just a bow? For the record, I ALWAYS carry a knife in addition to a sidearm or two. Of course, I don't like losing. |
HERE YOU GO: Deer Phonebooth |
| I was charged by a 4 pointer once while doing a trail run. I came upon him and he was ramming his head into a fence that bordered a water treatment plant. He turned towards me, head bloody from slamming it into the fence, and charged. I jumped, more like fell, out of the way as he ran past me head down. He turned and looked back at my dumbass laying on the forest floor for a couple seconds, then turned around and bounded away. Wish I woulda had my Martin with me, probably would'nt have been able to get off a shot anyways, things happened so fast. |
You mean a BAM-BA-LANCE? Look out for the Mother F***ing dog |
Anybody remember the home video of the guy who went out in his backyard drenched in "rutting buck #5" who got into a kicking contest with the 6-pointer? Dumbass lost when Bambi's uncle got into CQ range... "Here hold my beer and tape this!" |
