Broke my decoy? That’ll be one buck! ...What? No doe?!?

[Darksheare]

Watched a doe crazy buck chase a doe across my job site.
He was so focused on the butt in front of him that he failed to notice the guardrail.
She jumped over it effortlessly.
He tripped over it and landed face first in a heap.
He stood up, looked around like “I meant to do that” and took off after the rapidly escaping doe.

Good thing the decoy wasn’t a doe.

We’d have a serious charge of deer porn to contemplate.

That buck will likely be surprised that the next buck he meets won’t be so easy.

Remember: A buck in hand is worth two in the bush.

He showed that decoy who’s boss 😂

I was surprised that the owner of Buffalo Bore listed buck deer as dangerous game along with bears, moose.

I am aware of the fact that buck deer occasionally attack people and have read of a couple of people that were killed.

But I always considered it as a rare event with about the same probability as a lightning strike.

We do have a lot of deer here and this season has seen four bucks killed within sight of the house, two of which were 12 and 14 pointers...so it is not as though I am unfamiliar with the dangers of a wounded deer.

Here is his list:
• Moose
• Bison
• Grizzly bear
• Black bear
• Wolves
• Mountain lion
• Feral dogs
• Buck deer

It would take 6 good men to take a buck like that down by hand and then they’d have a hell of a time.

I have seen videos of them up at a state game station where they study the whitetail-Cusino at Shingleton Mi. They get in to take blood sample and the fight is on if the buck gets angry.

They’ll kill you during the rut if they’ve a mind to charge.

I would have expected to see follow-on a photo of that Buck across the hood of Bubba’s pickup.

Which, naturally, reminds me of yet another story -

When I was just 19 and assigned to a 105mm artillery battery in Vietnam, we used to take the battery of six guns out into the countryside to fire for a day and then go back to our regular position near Phu Bai in the evening.

While we were in our field position, I was often assigned to an outpost to protect that sector from an attack. At the end of one day of firing, we were sent the "Close Station, March Order" (CSMO - also known as "Collect Sh__Move Out"), so I picked up our M60 machine gun and headed back towards the main battery position.

I was walking along, head down through an open field when I heard "Whuff" and I looked up. I had walked into the middle of a small herd of water buffalos, and that "whuff" came from a monster bull directly in my path. I froze in place and watched and that bull lowered its massive head (damn thing looked almost as wide as it was long) and pawed the ground towards me.

I took the M60 off my shoulder, made sure that the belt was straight and clear, then pointed the M60 at the head of that thing, then pushed the safety off and started pulling the slack out of the trigger - and then I felt something whacking my leg.

I looked down and saw a little girl - she came just about to my knee in height - and she said "no no no", while whacking my leg with a small stick.

I said "what the heck are you talking about - that thing's going to kill me". She walked to that bull, whacked him on his left rear leg with that same stick - and the bull turned away from me and started eating grass again.

Dang.

Better a decoy than a 640 lb concrete statue...
