The Bug House Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 .....but he still got the deer. I'm on the Trauma Team at the Level 1 Trauma Center I work at. This was the 3rd hunter I saw this season. The other 2 fell from treestands. http://www.vnews.com/search/3075851-95/gray-deer-buck-cornish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Guess you never know what a wounded animal might do. May be a story to think about while crawling on hands and knees tracking a hit deer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
535hunter Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I read the article at the gas station and I think its kind of ironic that he wounds it then goes to finish it off with a knife and ends.getting in trouble. I know people who will only shoot the neck but that's not a safe bet. As in this case. I do wish him a.speedy recovery. Only TEN months left til next season.

MUDRUNNER Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yikes. Sounds like was pretty forunate. I've had to finish off deer a few times. I always shot though, never even thought about finishing one off with a knife. Seems a little risky, and a lot can wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bug House Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Rough day hunting..... Can't imagine why he'd choose a knife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrj3514 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Can't imagine why he'd choose a knife? I know people who will cut a deer's throat & save a bullet so it'll go ahead & die when it's just sucking it's last few breaths in. Probably what he was doing.
