Are you man enough for the hunt? Well sometimes you gain a reputation in unexpected ways. I’d like to think most fearsome reputations come about thanks to situations like this joke describes.
Next time you take down a deer, maybe make extra-sure it's down before you tag 'em. See the rest of the joke here.
Worth the wait and the link.
Funny :)
About 20 years back, I drew a bead on what I thought was a deer walkng through the woods. Luckily I recognized it for what it was when it stepped into a clearing and I could see better. It turned out to be a 24 year old idiot wearing deer skins.
The link requires you to watch a video to get the punch line.
Not funny to do this as click bait.
Punchline:
Fella, if you are man enough to tag him first, and then run him down, then you can have him!
Seems like you missed an opportunity.:)
Fair enough.
I just didn’t feel so grumpy about it :)

And here I didn’t think there was a bag limit on those.
Deer Hunting Story:
A neighbor of mine in college was a fellow deer hunter and a bit of a country bumpkin (just shy of a redneck). On opening weekend one year, we each had taken a doe and found ourselves drinking beer and talking of our respective hunts one night. His story was one of legends. He killed his deer by tackling it and stabbing it to death. I did see photos of the knife wounds and he did have a decent bruise on his forehead from the confrontation and head but as he tackled the 140 lb doe. He was hunting with a muzzle loader from a tree stand. Apparently, his shot “clipped a branch” from 30 yards out and the .50 caliber slug got both front legs. The deer went down but got back up and would run/prance about 2 steps and go down again, then get back up. Being a muzzle loader, he didn’t think he had time to reload and didn’t want to reload in the tree stand anyway. He was sure it was not a kill shot because one leg was hanging off and barely attached. Apparently, he climbed down the stand and ran after the deer, tackled it and tried to hold it down while stabbing it in the chest. He said, “My knife wasn’t long enough to get to the heart and I tried to cut’s throat. But that deer was really pissed off and I couldn’t hold it still.” —— YA Think?
