Revenge of the deer!

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.

This, friends, is why you a) wait a while before going after a deer you shot, and poke that bastard in the eye right off the bat to make sure he's really gone.

and c) Don't stand in front of him whilst you poke him.

and why I don't shoot a .270

[memphismason]

I always walk up from behind and poke the animal many times with the barrel of my rifle.

I have been known to put an extra shot in just to make sure it's dead . . . better safe than sorry

I just have this image of Lucky with a 1911 in a shoulder rig drawing it out and putting a round between the antlers, then smoking a cigarette lol

Haven't got on down here yet, but in NY the normal operating procedure was stand back until my dad showed up with the .44, and gave it a "make sure" shot.

Tha is the exact mental image I had as well, only it was me not lucky....heh.

I guess next time I shoot a deer, I should walk up and put it in a choke hold instead of poking it.
