Score one for the good guys.
Should have let the deer go, like I feel if an animal wins the fight they should get a pass...but then again they could go all cujodeer on people and that might not be good either.
How often does a deer kill a hunter? I know boars do and sometimes bears, but never heard about deers, then again if I think about a heavy animal charging you with sharp spikes on its head does sound scary ha.

It doesn't happen very often but it does happen from time to time, often after the deer has been shot. What happens is you shoot the deer, it runs a short distance and falls over so the hunter, thinking its dead walks up on it, the deer jumps up off the ground and attacks.
I will say this though to people who oppose hunting. Deer, and wild boars, and other animals will breed their population out of control if they aren't hunted or culled in some way. Deer can be especially bad if the conditions are right so hunting them is necessary. I know that doesn't sit well with the people whose sensibilities are upset by hunting but that is the truth of it.
You've read some of the anti-hunting replies/threads on here before right?

But how is it any worse than getting meat at the grocery store?And being a hunter makes you what? A tough guy?
Shooting an animal with a rifle is the easiest thing you can do and I'm talking from experience. Any pussy can do it.

DOG VS BOA became a treatise on Morality vs Cowardice, true story.A human got gored to death and its a contest who can be the edgelord itt.
The issue I have with this line of reasoning is we don't apply it to humans. I'm not talking about killing people, I'm thinking along the lines of a limit to how many children we have. The human population is growing at an unsustainable rate and we do NOTHING about it. We're more of a hinderence to this planet than the overpopulation of wild life and "that is the truth of it."
Well there's your problem."Man, 62, who was not carrying a rifle"
Well, we hunt each other lol, sad but true.
The problem with overpopulation of deer is that when they have expanded to the point the food supply isn't sufficient they begin dying slow hard starvation deaths. The hunting season is well regulated and has been very effective and keeping their numbers manageable. As I said in another post, the number of white tail deer alone in the U.S. is probably over 30 million animals.
Can you hang and field dress your kill?And being a hunter makes you what? A tough guy?
