That goes for any large game. A supposedly-dead deer or elk can deliver a hellacious kick to an unwary hunter.
There was a landowner in Jacksonville, FL years ago who was gored by a buck. Lacerated is liver. The only way he could get him off was to slit the buck’s throat with a pocket knife.
I had an acquaintance years ago rope a deer in his barn. He said as soon as that loop went on, he knew he made a mistake.
One of my uncles got kicked in the leg by an elk, broke it in two places and tore his knee up.
Even if I shoot a squirrel, I make sure he’s dead before I pick him up. They’ll bite the hell out of you.
