Though that's nature, you hunt, you have to be ready for nature to attack you.
quote:
he arrived at his deer stand overlooking a shooting lane, he saw a large buck standing near the end that he had captured images of on his trail cameras. Neames then set up for the shot and sent a bullet downrange, striking the deer in the neck. The deer ran into the woods, and Neames said he heard it crash shortly after.
Neames began trailing the animal about 15 minutes later and didn't get far before he found it. It was still alive and only feet away.
Neames said the deer was facing him and had a gaping wound in its neck. When their eyes met, the hunter became the prey.
"It happened so fast. I was 20 feet away when he lunged up from a squatted position, and within one-tenth of a second, he'd hit me," Neames said.
With an antler lodged in Neames' thigh, the buck tossed him to the ground about 8 feet away. "I knew I was in trouble then," Neames said. "Before I could even get to my feet, he was down on me attacking me again.
"I was lucky enough to grab his horns when he come down on me because he's just trying to ram them through my chest. I knew I had to protect my heart and lung area and my face."
quote:
Soaked in blood, Neames struggled to walk the 400 yards to his home. From there, he was flown to Baton Rouge and underwent surgery. Neames said he had more than 13 inches of tears in his flesh from the buck's antlers that took 25 staples and an unknown number of stitches to close.

article I linked is like an hour old.
So if you and your backwoods hunter buddies knew of it, it does not make it OT germans.

A lot of people don't bring an extra pistol when they hunt. Just the rifle or bow.
