what part of that was "liberal dogma"? the part about "drunk/dumb hunters"?
personally, i think there are already plenty of people in the world, and if the deer want to fight back, more power to 'em. can we send them into downtown where they'd really do some good? |

Okay, the two of you obviously know nothing about deer or deer hunting, so I'll go slow and use small words. Hunters are often portrayed as drunken slobs by anti-hunters. Deer cannot/do not "fight back." The deaths are due to car-deer collisions. I have hunted deer for 25+ years and have never heard of an incident where a hunter thought the deer was dead and was "attacked". The b.s. about the planet being over populated and all is just leftist public school indoctrination. There are plenty of people, but the planet can sustain us all just fine. This thread reeks of leftist crap and is obviously just a troll, or, at best, a public school indoctrinated juvenile regurgitating what he learned last year about global warming/overpopulation/man is destroying the planet, and such. Just my .02--worth what you're paying for it. |

I've never walked over to a deer I shot, and it still be alive, that's probably because I [b]BLOW GREAT BIG HOLES IN THEM![/b] Or maybe I'm just too drunk to notice, I don't know, one or the other.

I didn't mean all hunters are drunk and/or dumb, only the ones that get killed by deer.
Probably most are killed by the deer on the roads, but some are actually killed by deer playing dead. At least that's what the news said. Who knows, maybe all the hunters that got killed by the deer were not drunk but stoned out of their minds. Please don't rag on me now that I am sterotyping hunters as stoners too. |

Yes, I have seen a deer. It jumped out in front of my car and just froze there. No, it was not a white-tailed deer. I have no idea why that one guy is hung up on the emu. I could have just as easily said hampster. And no, my head has never "it the ground".
If you guys don't believe TV then who can you trust? TV provides warmth and laughfter. TV is the babysitter. TV gave us Palm Beach Florida live with all the old people screwing up. How could all of you turn your backs on TV like that? |

Deer are not intelligent animals. They do NOT play dead. Trust me.
When deer are shot they run. They run until they die, night falls, or they recover from the initial shock of a non-fatal shot. The only time a deer will be dangerous to a hunter is while it is thrashing around on the ground. Or if it is cornered while on the run. A thrashing deer may stop moving until the hunter approaches, but the deer will resume thrashing when he sees the hunter. Stories of injured deer ambushing people are exaggerated or else outright lies. |

The buck I shot two years ago was shot in self-defense. I was considering calling the warden and asking for another permit because I felt that I was forced to shoot the one I did.
I had been watching the deer for about fifteen minutes at close to 10 yards. I didn't have a shot because it was sky-lined. Once I made the decision to take him "Iwo-Jima" style and rush him, he decided to take a stroll down the path I was on. To make a long story short, I had leaned behind the tree to give him time to move where I'd have a safe background for a shot, and had no idea he would get so close. Once he came around the tree and acknowledged me (who's eyes were bigger, his or mine, I'll never know) he braced himself, dug in and charged. I couldn't even get my rifle to my shoulder because of how close he was, just held the rifle (Winchester 94) out and pulled the trigger. Had to do some fancy footwork to back-peddle and lever in another round. He passed me, fell down and slid into the river. Talk about an adrenaline rush! Of course that was the easy part, getting a dead deer to help paddle the canoe back up the river was impossible. Best hunt of my life. I could see how someone in some extreme cases might have faired poorly |

I hate to take sides but deer hunting is my cup of tea. I have been deer hunting since I was 9 years old. Lets see I'm 42 and 9 minus 42 is 33 I think. Sorry, I'm just one of those dumb deer hunters. I was taught by my dad at an early age to approach a deer with caution. I may be wrong but I have never heard of anyone being attacked by a deer. I have seen a deer play dead one time since I've been hunting but when he got up lets just say he didn't play dead the next time. I love to hunt because there's nothing like climbing 30 ft. up a tree on a cold frosty morning and waiting for the deer of a life time to come walking out. Its my way of unwinding from the yearly stress from work. As far as name calling is concern I stay away from that as much as possible. That's one thing I like about ar-15.com, you have freedom of expression. That's my two cents worth. Flames away if you please. Take Care

I've done my share of deer hunting. Okay, I'll have done my share when I'm rotting in my grave. But still, I've seen a pile of doe bounce off in one direction while the buck was slowly sneaking off quietly in another. That tells me they have some intelligence. Okay, it tells me that and that my partner made too much noise [:D].
Playing dead might be a lot to expect though. They're prey, and dead prey get eaten. I've heard my share of stories as well though. Deer that get shot and fall, run 20 yards and fall, run a mile and fall. And even those that get up when you're about to cut their throats and run for awhile and fall again. Isn't too far of a stretch to think that getting hit with a bullet knocks them down and puts them into a form of shock... only to "snap out of it" when the predator is at their throats. Stupid deer get shot on the first couple days of the season. The rest take a while. |

I heard a story about a hunter who was posing for a picture with a buck he had just shot. Supposedly, the hunter laid his rifle in the buck's antlers for the picture and the buck jumped up and ran off into the woods taking the rifle with him. I have no idea whether it's true or not. I've heard other stories about deer "coming alive" in vehicles they were being transported in and thrashing about and tearing up the upholstery and kicking out the windows. Urban legend? -- I don't know. Field dress 'em and you won't have that problem.

The kamikaze deer are actually dangerous--the ones who leap out in front of cars, let alone motorcycles. There are a lot of injuries to people who smack into them every year.
The car is traveling at 60 mph or so, the deer weighs 100 lbs, and it can go through the windshield. Saw the car in front of me smack a deer a year or so ago; the damage to the car was impressive. The deer was conked out for ten or fifteen minutes. Had a broken leg and extensive road rash. Eventually it started coming to, and had to be killed. And there I was without even a pocket knife, in shorts and a t-shirt. Luckily some coasties stopped and they had a knife to cut its throat. |

I hit a deer flat on with my Jeep Cherokee a few years ago. I was going about 50. The car got dinged a little, and the grille and radiator broke, but I was able to drive back home ok.
The deer just got knocked straight away. We were perfectly safe. I think that the more fuel efficient cars are required to be, the smaller they will become and the more people will die from hitting deer. My cousin hit a deer a few weeks ago with her Subaru. The half the deer ended up in the passengers seat. Get a truck for the wife and kids and be safe. |

OK,
2 funny "When Deer Attack" stories. While I was @ Marine Basic School in Quantico we had a coupe of incidents. The first was during a night land navigation exercise. It's pitch black, except for the glow of our little compass tritium. There's another LT a few yards away from me when I hear this huffing. Not being a deer hunter I had no idea what it was. Well, I guess this other LT got too close to a buck & the darn thing charged him. I heard the huffing, then something big moving inthe brush, then a thud, a scream, and someone rolling around on the ground. It was summer time so maybe the thing didn't have antlers, cause the guy just got knocked on his butt. Second incident was at the end ot TBS. We had a company of 200 LT's (yeah I know scary thought) on a 25 mile march retracing one of Stonewall Jackson's famous charges. We're at abt mile 23 so we can "smell the barn", walking down between 2 fence rows, when we see 3 does on one side of the road. Well, the first 2 does jump the fence row, run across the road between 2 platoons, jump the 2nd fence & stand on the other side wiating on #3. #3 gets all upset cause she's on her own now with 30 guys in cammie's between her & her friends. She runs circles a few times, gather speed, jumps the first fence, plows straight through the platoon of Marines knocking them over like bowling pins, jumps fence #2 & off the 3 of them run. Now that was funny, and it is for real. My enlisted men always enjoyed that story, the thought of one doe kicking a dozen butter bar's butts must have fulfilled several daydreams.... |

I actually know of 2 stories where humans where killed by white tails one was in Wisconsin. A buck had killed a hiker and had to be shot in order to recover the body.
The other was in Michigan. A fellow who raised comercial venison was gored and killed by one of his bucks. That's why I never go into the woods without a firearm or bow. Brown is down. |

You forgot "occifer I swervedyy to avoid that beeer......err deeer".
I got sent to a car deer crash....find randy the redneck next to his '76 pacer holding a hammer near a deer with 1 antler missing, now he's a lobsided 5 pointer. Deer is down in the median, alive, looking at me, but not moving. Say randy, the redneck, were you the one who hit the deer? Randy, why no, but I saw it here so I tried to put it out of its misery by hitting in the head with my hammer. Go back to deer to check it, see if it needs to be put down. This time when I get close it gets up runs across the road and slams intoa guardrail, it bounces of anthen jumps the gaurdrail and goes into the woods. Say randy, that deer would probably have missed the gaurdrail if yo hadn't installed a concussion.............. Another time get sent to a call.....Go to (address) meet the subject there, he says he found a dead deer by the side of the road yesterday. He put it in his car and took it home (like 16-20 hours ago). He was going to call in to have it tagged....... when he went out to the car to get it he heard it kicking around inside the hatchback. He wants to know if you can shoot the deer so he can get it out of the car and tag it..........never got to this call something about a DNR Warden wanting to ask Einstien some questions. |
