Popular outdoor television and Youtube hunting videos highlights many whitetail while expiring. Generally, when you shoot a deer, you expect them to jump, maybe flop, some drop where they stand, some run off and leave a trail of blood you have to track (it happens). Generally, you don't expect something like this.
When a friend of Garrett Sing took down -his- buck over the weekend, the deer didn’t flop, but it certainly had a spectacular jump!
With his last breath, the buck sky rockets up like a spaceship and flips directly on his back. You couldn’t have placed it better on its rack if you tried.
My suspicion is that the impact damaged something in the deer’s spine, as it doesn’t appear to move its back after impact, and even its head remains stock-still. The jury is still out, though! Do you have any theories about how the deer ended up topsy-turvy? See the video here.
Tweaky headline. (for me)
The USD has strengthened MASSIVELY over the past few days and it is playing havoc with the stock market.
One time when I shot a ‘rock squirrel’ with a .22, the thing jumped almost 6 feet straight up into the air, almost as if it had stepped on some kind of cartoon like spring loaded launching pad. When it returned from orbit and crashed back to earth, it was dead as a doorknob.
Around here, these prolific pests love to destroy gardens, chew their way into homes and outbuildings, and quite often will have lost half their hair, revealing sickly, black, flea infested skin due to having become a carrier of Plague.
