Deer fatally attacks hunter who shot him

[HumblePi]

The Hunter did die. You also can’t read.
The Hunter was gored several times. As he laid dying he was able to called his wife who called emergency services.
You should be ashamed to say a story like this warms your heart.

You should be ashamed of yourself for calling a woman or any other forum member 'an idiot and a moron'.

And by the way. I never clicked the link to read the story, all I read was the OP comment to the story and judging from that it was not clear that the hunter died, only that he was gored.

But I really don't give a damn what you think and I have no further need to explain myself or justify what you've been doing to me. GOODBYE have a good life.

You are a moron.
Okay if a human dies, but horrible if a deer dies to feed a family.

I do not believe it is okay a person died, but the deer didn't ask to be involved in the fight. The hunter chose to hunt, the hunter shot the deer that was minding its own business and the hunter initiated the close quarters with the deer.

I'm sure people don't want the hunter or the deer to die, but it's important to remember it wasn't the deer that started it.

I went boar hunting once with a friend of my moms and some of his buddies. With a pistol, a 1911 in .45 ACP in FMJ to be exact. I nearly lost my manhood and life to big boar who didn't know he wasn't supposed to hunt me back. I also learned a boars skull is incredibly tough facing straight on. The only 2 shots out of 7 round magazine penetrated. I don't hunt boars with a pistol anymore. Boars are smart I do not ever underestimate them after that incident.

As long as you eat what you kill, I don't have a problem with it.

Does matter if you eat it or the wild life eats it?

 

[OldFatGuy]

You kidding me? You think this hunter from Arkansas needed to kill a deer to feed his starving family? This guy probably went to the first Chick-fil-A and got a family grease feast.

Venison is a pantry staple in parts of Appalachia, northern NYS, northern New England, where there are no Chick-A-fll's, nor many other fast food joints, because the people can't afford them. There are hunters in Arkansas whose families are also dependent upon venison, wild birds, and more from nature's pantry.

It is a way of life for many, despite your Bambi complex.

Moreover, because this nation has killed off many of the large predators, the deer herds are swelling, and the lack of hunters is causing massive deer starvation during winters, destruction of the ecosystems, rampant disease spread from the rotting corpses. Go look up what has happened in western states where wolves were reintroduced to the local ecosystems. Just a few wolves are responsible for resurgent forests, healthier fauna and flora of all sorts, and return of near extinct flora. We need more people hunting deer, not less.

When I was younger I was an avid hunter, and often brought kill I did not use for myself to pantries and local food kitchens that fed those in need. It stretched tight budgets, and fed many who otherwise wouldn't have eaten enough keep their immune systems healthy. But spoiled people who think it a horror to kill Bambi don't care about the hungry poor. They may mouth concern, but do nothing other than pass snide comments.

It matters. It's one of my firm beliefs that hunters should eat what they kill.

OMG
Does it warm your heart when you read the death of a Hunter? It warms the heart of Humblepi when a Hunter is gored to death. She probably had goose bumps when she read that while the man was dying he made one last call to his wife.

 

[Fishking]

As an animal rights activist, the story warms my heart. Unfortunately, the deer died though. I watch 'North Woods Law' on Animal Planet channel. I saw an episode where a guy and his girlfriend were arrested for deer baiting. They set up a stand high in a tree, baited the deer with lots of food strewn beneath their deer stand and just sat and waited to shoot them as they came to feed.

I know that deer populations can get so large that there's not enough food for them and they languish suffering from malnutrition and starvation. Then it becomes a mercy killing to thin out the herds. But overall, I can't justify shooting any animal. I never even buy pork because pigs are considered the fifth most intelligent animal in the world, even more intelligent than dogs. No, I know I'm not saving any pig's life by not buying pork. I believe as many scientists do, that most animals have emotions and can feel happiness, sadness, empathy, grief, curiosity, anger, anxiety and fear.

Why does this warm your heart? Hunting is probably the most ethical form of humans getting their meat to exist? If you aren't a vegan you're not only a sick person, but also a massive hypocrite.

Deer 1, hillbilly 0


In what officials are calling a bizarre incident, an Arkansas hunter was killed by a deer that he thought he had shot dead.

Thomas Alexander, 66, was hunting deer near Yellville on Tuesday night when he believed he had successfully shot a deer, officials said.

Alexander, who lived in the area and was an experienced hunter, was sitting in an elevated deer stand during the state's muzzleloader season, Keith Stephens, chief of communications with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, told ABC News.

After going down to check on his "kill," Alexander soon discovered that the animal was in fact not dead.

There was deer blood found in the location where the attack happened, Stephens said.


It appears he shot the deer and he had put his rifle down near the deer stand and walked down to check and make sure it was dead," Stephens said. "And that's when whatever happened, happened."


The deer, which was not fatally injured, got back up and attacked Anderson, who suffered several puncture wounds on his body.

"Our assumption is the deer did gore him with his antlers," Stephens said.



Deer fatally attacks hunter who shot him

Yeah, I saw that story today. Both tragic and weird!

 

[GDViking]

I remember seeing a video a few years back when a guy covered himself in doe In estrus Duri g the rut.

He went out to get a deer to attack him and had his wife film it that deer kicked the **** out of him and she ended up filming his death...

This thread reminds me of how Anthony Jeselnik was heavily criticized when he celebrated sharks killing humans on his old Comedy Central show:

I don't hunt anymore, and never was super avid, but I did hunt a bit when younger. But even back in the day, I would never, I mean never, ever consider hunting boar. I've just read and heard too much.

I couldn't agree more. I didn't always think this way, but do now. Hunting's not fishing, where you can catch & release.

The link and the thread title both use the phrase "fatally attacks"

Not all hunters are "hillbilly's"

Thanks for your degrading post regarding Arkansas hunters. :roll:

He may have just been referring to Arkansas.

I wasn’t into it either. Standing still up in a tree never struck me as a fun way to spend half the day.

 

[Lovebug]

Folks need to calm down. Getting upset with each other doesn't help the deer or the hunter.

I went hunting a few times in my life when I was younger, but it just never excited me. I never found it interesting or fun. Part of that might have been because we were hunting in very cold conditions and never saw a single thing, but whatever the reason, hunting just isn't my thing.

I don't have a big problem with those who do hunt (legally and where it is actual hunting, not a situation where someone pays to shoot an endangered animal) and I recognize there are benefits to it as well. With that said, it is my opinion those who hunt choose to take a risk (however small or large it may be) and if the animal wins the fight, then so be it.

Also, boars are definitely incredibly dangerous animals and it doesn't surprise me at all to learn their skull is so tough. I suspect you were a little on edge for a while after that encounter.

OMG

Are you incapable of reading what I said? I mean, you quoted it, surely you bothered it read it before you replied, right?

Try reading next time before replying. It will help you avoid saying stupid things.

Same. My father got me to go a few times, but I just never got into it.

 

[TurtleDude]

Do they have a warrant or are they just going to interview him? :2razz:

Growing up there was a firm rule in my family not to approach a downed deer unless you had a handgun drawn, aimed and ready to fire for this very reason. If you didn't have it, you had to go find one of the people who was carrying their 44 mag. and get them to check.

it is why I would wait 45 minutes after arrowing a deer to go look for it.

ever seen a boar spear for hunting boar on horseback? it has a cross bar on it so a skewered boar doesn't run up the spear and tag you. I never hunted boar but in Kenya I shot a warthog that was top 12 in the world in terms of tusk size. It was running and I hit liver. It went into heavy thickets near a dry river. The professional hunter and my father went one way and I the other and they found the boar which ran straight at me shot it at almost point blank range between the shoulders with a 30-06. Instant kill since the bullet severed its spine and took out the heart. But that sort of filled my desire to hunt pigs. BTW the preferred weapon for hunting feral pigs or boards in states where night hunting is legal, is an AR 15 with a night vision scope or viewer.

.223 is too small a round to be messing with on boar. 7.62 or better with hunting round. Don't mess around with em. They will get you if they can. I still hunt feral pigs and boar on occasion. I bait not stalk. I hunt with a HK G3 and a IMI Desert Eagle running .50 AE and 6 inch barrel. If I cant drop Porky with those, then the bastard will have earned my head.

Remember when Brody in Jaws was chumming the waters on Quint's boat?



That's I what I said. Except for boat I used gun. Nothing like having a 300+ pound dead boar with large tusks sitting between your legs sniffing your nuts, while you are sitting flat on your ass, to bring clarity to a concerning situation.
