Dead deer

[gatodoc]

A 79 yr old guy I know shot a 7 point with his ml. It went down but he reloaded and went to get it. As he approached it stood up and he shot it again. It fell over into a ditch. He waited a bit and went to check it.

He climbed into the ditch leaving his ml up top. When he grabbed it all heck broke loose. The Buck was on his back legs pawing at him. He got his knife out and stabbed it in the neck until it was dead.

Today I talked to the processor he took it to. The processor said you got awfully bloody gutting that deer. The guy raised his pants leg and blood was running down his leg into his rubber boot. The processor took him to the ER and he got 37 stitches in his lower abdomen.

Make sure they're dead before you approach especially in confined locations.

Have heard these type stories before, cannot be too careful.

Should've stitched the deer up too after all that

Hopefully we can get back to being "men" soon.

Dang that's awful but could've had a different outcome. Glad he survived it.

Cousin shot an old scrub 5pt about 10 years ago in ML. Buck fell where it stood. It twitched and pawed around for about 10 mins then was dead. We were hunting together, so We waited and I ended up shooting a doe. We got down and decided to drag his first then come back and get mine. We each grabbed an antler and started dragging down the hill. About half way down it got really hard to drag and I said to stop so we could roll him on his back because his feet were digging into the ground. We let go and instead of collapsing onto the ground the dang thing stood up. It was like it was dead but reflexes were fighting us, initially digging into the ground to get us stopped then stood up. It didn't run or jump or maul, it fell over after a few seconds. We left it and went back and got my doe. When we got back to it, I guess it was dead for good. We call it the zombie deer.

Good advice .
