Really funny hunting incident!

THIS IS TRUE!two guys were hunting, one shot his first large buck, nice 10 pointer. He laid his rifle on the deers head and wanted a photo taken.When his buddie (ME ) snapped the photo, the flash went off! Well guess what? The deer jumped up, the sling caught the antlers and everytime the butt hit the deer in the ribs he ran a little faster. SO we stood there and watched the deer run away with a new winchester 270 swinging on his head, but good news is he has a really nice 16x20 photo.

    Two guys I worked with hit a bobcat on the road on the way to work at night. They stopped and threw it into the car's trunk. When they got to the parking lot at work they opened the trunk to show it to some other guys, there in the back of the trunk was a very mad bobcat with an attitude. I didn't see it but they killed it with a pistol in the trunk. I've always wondered which one of them figured out the trajectory and the location of the gas tank?

    Took a greenhorn fishing on the Seguin River in Texas. A moccasin dropped out of a tree into the bottom of the boat. He emptied his 870 12ga into the snake, killing it instantly. Two tackle boxes, two rods, one tent, one speeping bag, a boat and a 15 HP Evinrude were lost at sea, two wet men (one extermely agitated) and one sleeping bag made it to shore.Clouder..

    For all you young ones out there, THE TONGUE HANGS OUT WHEN THE ANIMAL IS DEAD!... Always give the animal at least 15 minutes to die, unless you saw blood spurting everywhere. If you dont, see the wound be careful and I would advise to shoot it again at the top of the neck. Just in case. I ONCE SHOT A BUCK GAVE IT 15 MINUTES TO DIE, AND IT GOT UP, GOOD THING I HAD MY RIFLE, IT SCARED THE DOG SHI!! OUT OF ME. I APPARENTLY AFTER LOOKING THE ANIMAL OVER KNOCKE OFF ONE OF THE TINES ON THE ANTLERS, AND JUST KNOCKED THE DEER OUT, HE CAME TO, JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO PICK HIM UP. ok, yall be careful!

    I was taught to touch the eyeball with the muzzle of the rifle. You do this from an angle, so that if the animals still alive and jumps up, it wont run you over. If the animal blinks its alive, if not, start gutting.

    Can't you stir a little harder than that dano? Outdoor Life magazine came out with a special issue of cartoon depictions of true-life encounters with wildlife. One of the stories depicted a fellow with the exact same story where the deer ran off with his rifle. It happened in upstate NY and my boss at the time knew the guy it happened to. Now that I've heard it happen to two people, I'll never lay a rifle in the rack to take a photo.

    Was hunting one day when I shot a deer on the run;shot it right thru the neck. Strange thing- it had a winchester .270 stuck in his rack, darn nice one too! "Would someone get "Painthorse" a picture'?Me too! Me too! Me too! Me too!

    bOOmer: Where and when did this happen? I witnessed something very very similar to this several years ago. Sounds too familiar,but probably happens more than we think.
    Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.

    OK, I am getting a picture mailed to me and I'll post it. This happened in upstate NY this hunting season. One of NY finest was the shooter of the deer. NO he did not find the deer or the rifle, so NY hunters beware, there is an armed deer in the woods of NY From the way the sling appeared to be tangled in the rack , its most likely still there! After seeing that buck running as hard as he was, I would not doubt it.

    Are you guys serious? Really? I've heard some good stories before, was even able to tell a couple. But not having sense to make sure an animal is dead before any pictures/moving/gutting/ etc.? Being taught the way I was about clean kills and making sure the animal's down I find this a tad bit hard to believe.

    This story has to be true because I saw, first hand, an almost identicle incident several years ago. Some local road hunters (one off duty Twp. LEO and buddies) chased about a dozen deer down my runway. The deer broke across the alfalfa field into the cornfield next to the woods and stopped. The road hunters stopped at the end of the runway and using the hood of the truck as a bench rest began to shoot at the two bucks in the herd. They dropped a ten pointer after about a dozen shots and the other deer ran into the woods. The road hunters drove down to the dropped buck, inspected it cautiously then leaned their rifles against the truck except the LEO, who's volley dropped the buck, he laid his rifle against the buck's rack to make ready for a photo. As the hunters were enjoying a smoke and getting the camera out of the cab the buck sprang to his feet snagging the rifle by the sling in it's antlers and jumped over the bed of the truck and bounded into the woods. The rifle dropped off after about three bounds just before the woods. They recovered the rifle but not the buck. This group regularly road hunted without consequence from the law in our Good Ole Boy township. So the story has to be true because it obviously happens more than we think.

    WE were fox hunting one night when my friend Donny shot a fox picked it up and brought it back to the truck and threw it down on the ground The fox immediatly jumped up and ran away. The look on his face was priceless. Needless to say from then on he would shoot one down with his pistol before carrying.

    Some years back I shot a deer at about 60 yards in woods near a frozen swamp. He collapsed but slowly got to his feet. Not wanting to mess up the deer with an unnecessary second shot, I didnt fire again. The buck staggered to the high bullrushes and entered the swamp. Believing he was solidly hit, I waited for him to fall again but heard nothing. Not wanting to make noise in the leaves that could mask the sound of the deer falling,I gave him a few minutes to stiffen up and bed down. I looked for blood where he fell and again on the trail but I found none nor did I find the deer.It was pretty dumb not to have taken an easy second shot.

    YOu prob shot him in the antlers like I did, it just knocked him down, and dazed him, but it was not life threatening. I always take the second shot in case.

    Shot a drake mallard one time, folded like a dishrag under a faucet. Picked him up, took back to the car & tossed him on the floorboards (I was working as a surveyor & took lunch break w/ a shotgun when it was feasible). Came back in the afternoon to find one very crazed duck and one hell of a mess. Funny now, but do you have any idea how much s*** a duck can drop in up to four hours? And how well it can spread it around an enclosed space? Made sure to crush the skull from then on.[This message has been edited by Iconoclast (edited 01-20-2002).]

    I do not know if this is a hunting legend, but a friend of mine said the following happend to one of his buddies.Fellow was out poaching deer. They were hunting at night, and nailed a buck. Since they were poaching, they did not put the deer on the top of their new suburban, but picked it up and put it right in the back seat. A few minutes later, the poachers are driving, and they look between the 2 front seats and see a set of antlers. The deer starts kicking, and impaling, and the poachers killed the thing buy smashing their rifle buts into its head. THe deer completely tore up the new suburban, and there was blood all over the place.

    Had 2 Irish setters, one smart, one dumb as dirt. Out back working on a p/u trk, when the wife hollars out the back door."Max" has something in his mouth.They had been roaming the woods around the house. Called "Max" over and took the "thing" out of his mouth. It was a Dove. Held it up, let it loose, and it flew off, never missing a beat. Not bad for a Dog that never was anything but a dumb pet for me to feed every night. How did it catch a live bird withoug killing it? Figured it must have been sitting a nest. Sure miss old "Max", but still remember the good times.

    Shot a buck at no more than 30 ft.away on the side of the head;with a 12 ga. slug.Pole-axed him.I sat there in my stand for 5 minutes,he laid there motionless the entire time, then I unloaded the magazine to climb down.About halfway down the tree,I saw him get up and run as if never been hit.Blood trail for 300 yds., but never found him.

    A group of us old mountain boys was hunting. We were teaching a 15 year old boy named Colin about deer hunting. He was in a tree stand off by himself. Deer walks right under his stand. He shoots straight down, deer drops in his tracks. Colin is so shook up, he falls out of the tree, lands square on top of the deer, deer jumps up and starts tearing the woods down with Colin on his back. Long story short, Colin has to get his hunting blade out of the scabbard while hanging on for "deer" life, he reaches around and cuts the deers throat, deer dies quickly, but Colin was beat half to death. We have never let him forget it either. I would not have believed it but I saw the sign that was left and I saw what was left of Colin's clothes and what was in them.

I've been told it didnt take grandpa long to stop and let him out!! No-one was hurt,including the deer!
