Deer Fights Back Against Hunter Who Shot Her...Sends The Hunter To The Hospital

[Cali_Democrat]

Yay for the Deer!!





A Wisconsin bow hunter had the tables turned on him when a deer he shot with an arrow fought back and sent him to the hospital.

The 72-year-old shot the deer in the leg, wounding her, near Taycheedah on Friday.

When he attempted to track the doe, she “leaped out and went after him” while he was amidst “some thick brush” Fond du Lac Sheriff's Officer Jeff Bonack told the Fond du Lac Reporter. The feisty deer then head-butted his leg and fled the scene.

The hunter was taken to a hospital, but his condition has not been released.

1. Poor Deer

I hope it can recover. This deer needs a crash coarse in Deer kicking.

Serves him right.

28. "While Big Jim gets his brains bashed out, I'll stay here with the video crew..."

Although I'm absolutely on the deer's side, if I was that guy I'd kick some ass myself when it was all over.

[Adsos Letter]

36. !

I had forgotten all about that show. Watched it every week when I was a kid. "Looks like Jim could be in some trouble with that anaconda...".

And I, too, hope that deer makes a full recovery, although it is unlikely to do so without some human intervention given the nature of broadhead hunting arrows. Much nastier than the target variety.

46. Wild Kingdom was a favorite of mine.

2. About time deers start fighting back

PETA will love a story like this.

[Triana]

3. GO Deer!

Kick that hunter's murderous ass.

[Brickbat]

4. Here's hoping the guy's OK.

[HERVEPA]

10. Here's hoping he's not.

[Brickbat]

11. When you say that, what are you hoping for?

Chronic pain for the rest of his life? A five-day stay in the hospital with blurred vision? An eye put out? I'm interested.

[HappyMe]

13. Really?

That's a bit nasty. Why wouldn't you want this guy to recover?

[upaloopa]

14. So he can't wound more deer?

I don't mind if he recovers I wish he would shoot at targets and buy meat at the store.

[NickB79]

16. Buy meat at the store? Seriously?

Coming from a family of farmers, and having grown up on a family farm (not even a factory farm), if you think the meat you buy in a store is in ANY way more humane than the meat you get from hunting wildlife, I can only conclude you are FUCKING INSANE.

Ripping piglets teeth out to let them suckle longer. Cutting off their tails and testicles with razors and then spraying the bleeding wounds with iodine. Packing them into pens for months on end with no grass, sunlight, etc. Burning off the horns of young calves. Clipping the beaks and wings of young chickens. Did I make it clear this was a family farm that treated livestock better than factory farms do?

But please, by all means piss on hunters for being "cruel" while people enjoy their factory-farmed, hormone-soaked, fat-riddled cheeseburgers. Maybe you'll even get lucky and eat one that was made from a cow that was actually fully dead before it was sliced up at the meat processing plant, not just stunned like so many of it's brethren.

[belzabubba333]

21. well that should change too but that's no excuse for "hunting"

[NickB79]

23. Tell that to the 99% of meat-eating Americans

I've actually tried going vegetarian in the past, and ended up going back to eating meat, so hunting is the most ecologically sound way to do so.

If you have the fortitude to stick to a vegetarian diet, my hat is off to you. For the rest of us, hunting becomes the healthiest, most humane, and green way to keep meat in the diet. Well, that and raising your own flock of chickens or hutch of rabbits in the backyard, which I also do.

[upaloopa]

22. I don't eat meat so it isn't something

I think or care about. I do see a lot of deer and use to live in the lower Sierra Nevada mountains and I've seen a lot of deer and I care about them. I lived in open range territory so I had to fence the cattle off my land. They kept breaking it and I got really good at mending the fence.
I even got the only eatery around to sell garden burgers. Their wall was decorated with the brands of all the local ranches so it took a while and a lot of convincing.
On edit: I do care about how animals are treated for food but not much I can do about it but don't contribute to it.

[yeoman6987]

34. I don't know why this matters but I am having lamb tonight

And it was store bought. So I did not hunt my food for tonight. The family enjoys it regardless.

[onecent]

37. Well said!!!!

[yeoman6987]

32. Just what we need, more motorists killed on

the highway because deer are over populated and going into suburban areas. There are too many deer in the United States.

[HERVEPA]

15. OK. He can recover. And for the rest of his life suffer the pain he inflicted on the deer.

[Brickbat]

18. Really, there may not be that much pain at all, especially if the arrow passed through its leg.

So that would be good for everyone involved.

[HERVEPA]

41. Yes. I'm sure the arrow caused little pain.

That's why he ignored the hunter after it happened. Oh wait. No he didn't.

[Brickbat]

44. It didn't go after the hunter. It ran off.

Then he started tracking it and startled it.

[NickB79]

19. And eat store-bought meat, which inflicts 10X the suffering on livestock as hunting does

If we're doling out suffering for how we've treated animals in our lives, almost all of us deserve far, far worse than this old man considering the BILLIONS of cattle, chickens and pigs we consume every year, almost of of them raised in appallingly cruel conditions in comparison to what deer and other wildlife experience.

[HERVEPA]

40. I'm a vegetarian. I eat no animals ans wear no animal products.

[Quackers]

43. I've hunted and killed deer

And ate them. So do you think something bad should happen to me? How about my kids? They were hungry. Maybe you wish something would happen to them? Your comment is disgusting.

17. Hes physically OK

35. No he's not.

Sorry - but no one who is "OK" sprays elk urine in his mouth (1:52 for those with cast iron stomachs).

[Dont call me Shirley]

5. Was it Ted Nugent? Oh please, oh please!

[Xyzse]

6. They were using a bow.

I hardly see the Nuge using something like that.

On edit...
The Bow-Hunter did fail, so it is possible...

I'll join you in hoping then.

[Paladin]

7. Nugent uses bowhunting equipment.

Anything to feed his blood lust---particularly since death by arrow is generally a lot longer and more painful than a death by bullet.

[Xyzse]

12. Thanks.

I was very much mistaken then.

[RebelOne]

8. Nugent is a bowhunter. n/t

[Dont call me Shirley]

I can't get pics to post lately, but this one is of Ted with a dead deer and a bow on top of it.

[belzabubba333]

20. sitting on your ass hiding in bushes dowsed in deer piss isnt hunting it's just killing

[Brickbat]

24. What does real hunting look like to you?

[Logical]

27. Why not man with knife vs. deer? Fair fight! nt

[Brickbat]

30. Because that's not how predation works.

[Logical]

38. Cave men did it. Duh! nt

[Logical]

25. Sort of funny, man with gun vs. beast, beast gets some shots in! How nature intended! nt

[WhiteTara]

26. I hope the doe gets some help! nt

[nolabear]

29. I was attacked by a buck once. FORTUNATELY it was very small and I was eventually rescued!

Back in the wildlife rehab days of my past, we had a number of deer who we had to keep for one reason or another (Usually one of those "abandoned" fawns some well-meaning soul brought in). It wasn't uncommon for the local yahoos to cut the fences and "free" the deer, which of course were then in terrible danger as it was in a semi-residential area.

One morning I walked over to the acreage where they were kept to find one of the bucks coming straight at me. For some unknown reason he was really small as bucks go but he had a full rack, and all I could do was grab hold and hang on, trying to keep away from those front hooves, which can do real damage. We danced around, me screaming for help at the top of my lungs, for probably five minutes before someone heard me and came running, and together we muscled him back and fixed the enclosure. He was sweet as a lamb when there was a fence between him and people but I wasn't the only one who had to defend myself when he got a chance!

We loved him anyway.

[muntrv]

31. The hunter became the hunted!

[olddots]

33. once again

SUPPORT THE RIGHT TO ARM BEARS ! and deers maybe that would give them as you say a sporting chance .1 2 3

[Raine]

39. HURRAY for the deer!!! nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. you don't eat meat? is factory farming more compassionate than shooting a deer?

i dont get the vitriol.

[Vattel]

45. I love it when justice prevails.
