Nov. 25 (UPI) -- A hunter in the Czech Republic was charged by a deer that snagged the man's gun on its antlers and fled into the woods with the weapon, police said.
Police in the South Bohemian Region said a hunter contacted authorities to recount the story of how he lost his gun while hunting near the village of Horni Plana.
The man said one of the hunting dogs in his group startled a stag in a wooded area, causing the panicked deer to run directly toward him.
The deer's antlers ripped the man's sleeve and ended up snagged on his .22 Hornet rifle, which had been slung over his left hand at the time.
The animal ran off into the woods with the hunter's unloaded gun still attached to its antlers, the man told police.
Police said another hunter reported spotting a deer with a rifle dangling from its antlers more than half a mile from the scene.
Investigators said the hunter was required to report the loss of the rifle under the Czech Republic's Firearms and Ammunition Act.
A deer are my lunch one time, a squirrel popped on my boots one time and believe it or not, a moose bit my sister.
5.56mm
ATE my lunch one time. Dammit.
If I ever find the guy who created autocorrect, I will feed him to the gators.

What happens in the woods, stays in the woods.
“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”...
If this happened here in California, the Hunter would be criminally charged for illegally transferring a Firearm.
He’s shooting a stag with a .22? Uh...
When guns are outlawed, only deer will have guns!....................
Gives new meaning to “Deer Hunter”. I wonder if he will be able to get a tag for a human male next season.
The hunter becomes the hunted!.................
Sounds series. This is Hugh
Møøse bites kan be pretty nasti...
Open season in DC....................
LOL
Won’t be so easy when the deer are shooting back! :)
Funny story.
Hey, Czech dude.
Canoe accident.
It’s much easier done with an unfortunate canoe accident dumping your rifle in the river, somewhere, rough water. Rapids and everything.
I don’t know if he was actually hunting deer, it just happened to be there................
Hope you didn’t poop when the squirrel popped.
Seems it was, after all, a deer rifle.....
It’s up there with: “my dog ate my homework”
DOes the deer need a permit?..............
