Fight'n Bambi vs. Hunt'n Gus
Okay. :-D As a long time Felix Salten fan (Salten is the the author of the rather grisly original novel - Disney wrecked a good story, actually), I happen to know that Bambi DOES attack a hunter from behind in the sequel, Bambi's Children! Really! I'm a font of worthless trivia, and this is one of 'em!
"My sweetie is going to love this story. He also cheers for the bull in a bullfight."
Then you won't mind if I cheer for the perp if he is ever mugged.
OK, Mr. Expert - say he had managed to bag one while unarmed (wring its neck like a chicken? break its neck with a well placed karate chop?) how would he clean it without a knife?
Whenever hiking around in the woods, one should ALWAYS have a revolver or semi-automatic pistol holstered on their side.
As an example, black bears can be found in many densely-populated states and can be quite dangerous if cubs are nearby. If you've ever hiked the Appalachian Trail, there is no shortage of weird humans to be found along the way.
Better to be safe than sorry...

As well as my previous post.
LOL. Maybe it's a regional thing becuase we lived in Eastern Central Louisiana, on the river. I have known many who did the same as your brother. I always used a boat paddle. :)
His reply, "My daughter."
"Name?"
"Bambi." Deputy looked at him real funny. He should have named his daughter Snow White or something.
This doesn't surprise me.
You're just lucky that your brother didn't try to shoot it.
Deer are pretty good with those hooves. They kill rattlers with them.
I read that an attacking deer lowers its head and pushes forward until it makes contaact with its antlers - then SHOVES HARD. Moral - be sure to grab the antlers before they make contact with your body.
However, such incidents are rare ones and probably brought on by excess testosterone during the rutting season.
I watched a small doe run down a coyote, nearly her own size, and make a very serious attempt to kill it. She wasn't going to let a lack of antlers keep her from grinding him into the rocks either.
Yes, I missed the indication of sarcasm. Saw your post 27 - you may have it pegged, but my first thought was he was going to check on either a still or a pot patch, and he didn't want the extra time that would come if he was armed if and when the feds nab him.
That's a thought. Maybe he fell into one of his own booby-traps.
Yes, the attack on my friend happened during the rutting season, and yes he did grab the deer by the antlers, but you would not believe how flexible those forelegs are.
Of course if you grow up loving the woods you will see things that no one would believe if you told them. It was always a happy situation when I would have another witness to some of the weird things I have seen animals do that is not in the books.
I wanna know what's hanging on the walls of the Deer's den.
It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired -- you quit when the gorilla is tired.
