Suddenly, the doe reared back on her hind legs and punched the guy - bam-bam-bam - three times in the face with her front hooves.
Then, she dropped back on all fours, lowered her head, and bucked the guy like five feet straight up in the air!
The guy was bruised and bleeding, but still able to walk.
Since seeing that video, I give every wild deer I see a lot of space!
RIP.
They’re fighting back!
This time of year, the bucks get very aggressive. I always carry a handgun in the woods and after a kill shot. They might be playing possum.
I don’t expect you to read the mind of a Deer, but why do you think the Doe was attacking someone trying to feed her?
Was he not feeding her fast enough?
She acted as ungrateful as a Syrian refugee in Germany.
They say that when the buck came at him, the hunter looked like a deer in the headlights.
The story is not funny at all, until they get to the “still looking for the deer” part. One time our town police posted a picture of a black bear that was “wanted”. I laughed out loud.
Deer people fight back. It’s usually suicide attacks on motor vehicles. Now, direct attacks on hunters.
If it was a Whitetail, 200 lbs ain’t no slender deer...LOL
I was traumatized by Disney when I was 5 years old watching Bambi’s mother get shot. This story brings me a measure of peace about that trauma.
Double-tap. It’s the only way to be sure.
Works for zombies.
His wife had borrowed his truck because she had some kind of function to attend and needed to haul centerpieces or decorations of some sort, which necessitated that he take her VW Bug.
As the light was falling he saw a good sized buck, shot it and it collapsed. Because of the late hour, and not wanting to field dress it before putting it into his wife's car, he stuffed it into the back of the VW and started driving home.
Unbeknownst to him, he had only grazed the deer's skull rendering it unconscious, and it "came back to life" in the back of the VW on his way home...
I’m rooting for the deer.
Turn about is fair play.
Food for thought.
Whatever you shoot/have to shoot....
make sure it’s dead.
Deer played possum, and came out the survivor.
Years ago I saw a big die being hit by a truck as it was entering the highway. It only hit the deer’s head, but I was sure it was dead.
I was driving a little Plymouth Horizon hatchback so put the back seat down to make room for it. To keep the blood that was coming from the nose from getting on the carpet I pulled a plastic shopping bag over the head. She was so big it was all I could do to roll her in the car.
About 30 minutes later while on the interstate, I heard a snorting sound and looked in my rearview mirror. There was this white plastic shopping bag banging against the car roof as the deer was trying to stand up.
I pulled over and grabbed the tire iron I had laying in the passenger seat, beating the plastic bag until it really was dead. Scared the heck out of me.
Ended up when I butchered it, there were twin fawns in it ready to be delivered. That was why it was so heavy.
They own my neighborhood and live in my yard
