I'm not religious so I'm undecided if there really is a "deer heaven," but if there is, I *really* hope this one goes there. Coolest animal EVAR.

hunters are just total idiots who need to evolve more. No self respecting human should take pleasure in killing something. I was with this kickass deer 100%. Just it shame the hunter got off so lightly!

So, Netean: are you a vegetarian, or a hypocrite?

I remember seeing this years ago. This hunter was actually using deer musk to attract his prey, and one of them was under the impression that he smelt a rival. For those of you thinking that the hunter "got off easy," he actually suffered a number of broken ribs, not to mention whatever cuts and scrapes he got.

Sweet shot. I'm wondering if this is the kind of hunter idiot that doesn't carry a knife for just these kinds of occasions. If he was that stupid to let one get that close without getting a shot off with the bow, and was even STUPIDER to not have a knife on him- he got what he deserved. Darwin rules. :-D

Dayum! I want more of those deers to reproduce! btw i don't know why he didn't use his horns?

Again we see a guy w/ a camera standing by for the money shot while his pal is attacked by an animal or is just horribly injured and writhing in pain.

Do you really believe the hunter was going to eat the deer?

I'm amazed he didn't get gored by that sharp rack of antlers.

Heh. SwampGirl - I'm ashamed of myself for not even thinking about that. Leave it to the females to have all the perspective.

Dude 1: Go deer!
Dude 2: Hunters suck!
Dude 3: I'm a vegetarian.
Dude 4: The hunter should have used a knife.
Dude 5: Vegetarians suck!
Dude 6: Fake.
Dude 7: Darwinistic vegetarian atheists rule!
Me: That's why you don't hunt deer with a bow & arrow.

Chick: What a sad commentary on society that, when encountered with a fellow member of the human race being pummeled, possibly to death, by an angry and confused wild animal five times his size, the primary focus of the person behind the camera was shot composition.

Of course, I may be reading too much into all this...

LOL! Yeah well it' wouldn't have hurt to have had a knife on hand.

I've often told my husband (he doesn't hunt, but argues it's merit) that it's not a "sport" as men like to call it. They walk around w/ high power rifles w/ scopes on top. They scatter corn all over an stretch of power line field and perch up on a seat they have mounted in a tree overhead and wait.

Now where's the sport in that?? If they want the right to call it a sport then they need to catch them and kill them with their BARE HANDS...barefoot too. Then will they have the right to call it a sport.

If the law was that to hunt one much chase, catch and kill it with out cheating w/ weapons, then this "sport" suddenly wouldn't be so very popular anymore.

I partly agree, but I think you're going too far.
Remember that we humans have intelligence to be used where our body lacks other features.
So, while using rifles is obviously too much, going barefoot and bare-handed is obviously too few.
I think that you dress however you like, bulletproof jacket is fine, medieval plate armour maybe not, and use some melee weapon not too long, dunno a knife or a mace.

how about just leave the freakin deer alone unless you're starving to death?

no, he will die of solitude

Well, clearly you know a lot about live film, the rut, smell attractant, guns, and hunting in general. Just be honest, you've never hunted a day in your life, have ya? hahaha oh the pain...

Hell no, I've never hunted. It's not a requirement to have a bit of fun at the expense of hunters

Um, of course he was??? Thats the primary reason to go hunting, even those that do it for "sport" usually take the meat and have it butchered or butcher it themselves. I don't call hunting a sport, but I've been hunting before. Deer meat is fantastic. Add to that the fact that its wild, so it has a more seasoned taste... beats anything you could ever buy in a store.

Note: It's best if you can kill a wild hog too on the same trip, they're pests who tear up fields anyway.. But using deer meet + wild hog meat = good sausage.

/ damn hippies who think hunting is all about penis mentality
// hasn't had deer meat in about 3-4 years

When a man calls an animal vicious, what he usually means is that it will attempt to defend itself when he tries to kill it.
