Damn. I always root for the animal. Nice job though, deer. At least you drew some blood.

Thank God the guy is alright.

The deer are becoming smarter. They are finding our weaknesses and plotting against us.. soon they will team up and attack from behind.





Generally I'm against hunting, but deer populations are crazy, and if not controlled, many would starve to death instead. The best scenario would be letting their natural predators come back.

Why yes he would.

I know that would make a humorous story.. not that I find death funny, just the irony.

Not directed at me, but that thought wouldn't bother me at all. Like I said, I always root for the animal. I almost always pick the underdog in any situation.

Also, I've had a shamanic like vision of my own death and it is at the hands of a wild animal. Good for whatever gets me. I've already told my family and friends that I want nobody trying to kill the animal that kills me. In fact, if the animal will accept some kind of reward, so much the better.


I'm part Cherokee and spend a ton of time in the mountains, so this isn't outside the realm of possibility. Fingers crossed...

If I'm going down, it better not be by another human, but rather a bear.. Theirs comfort in knowing I had a short battle with nature and ended up being a tasty snack.

Totally. I'll be pissed off if a human actually bags me.

The moron deserves it for assuming the deer was dead.

yeah, i guess it would be pretty funny if the human w/ the gun lost to a wounded deer.

sucker.

All you people that hate on hunting, probably have no idea how many times your life has been saved by it.

For those that pull for the underdog, you should be pulling for the people. The only advantage humans have, and it is quite an advantage, is the gun. Deer are faster, have better vision(even though they are color blind), better sense of smell, better intuition, run faster, naturally camoflauged.

The gun isn't quite the equalizer you would think it is. Deer can hear a bullet comin at them and dodge it. They can also get down, like a rabbit, and run about 60mph across a field.

Also, killing the actual animal is one of the less enjoyable parts of hunting. How many of you people have sat in the woods on a december morning, just as all the animals are waking up?

That is funny shit there, hommie. Oh, and I'm an ex hunter so at least make the lies somewhat believable. I'll let you know the next time I see a deer dodge bullets and run 60 mph.

You laugh, but unfortunately no one can be told what the matrix is.

Good for the deer.

I want to see the video where the deer knocks the gun out of the guys hands into the air, and it lands shooting him in the ass.

pjoasisrule

This thread is completely useless without footage. I wanna see the hunter gettin his ass kicked.

I chased a deer on a 4 wheeler, goin close to 50 mph. It was leaving me. They do the standard bouncy run, but the they also hunker down and really turn it on, where they bellies are right on the ground. Maybe it's not quite 60 mph, but they can go much faster than the 35-40mph that most people think.

Also, with the dodging, it's more of a reflex flinch than matrix style. Often it means the difference between a good shot and a bad shot. I have seen them fully dodge arrows.

It had to be a matrix deer. Top speed of deer is 35 mph. Maybe 40 if they are juiced on adrenaline. The only herd animal approaching 60 is a Gazelle. I'd have to see it to believe it and I've spent my life in the company of deer.

I think I once ran about 60 mph when running from an angry mother black bear.
