Hunters nearly gored by deer in video

Buck refuses to leave downed doe, charges hunters.

What do you do when you shoot a nice deer and a second rack buck refuses to leave? That’s the decision that faced some hunters who decided to video the confrontation.

The video (which is attached to this story) begins with a hunter walking past what appears to be a nice management buck toward what looks to be a hammer 8-point.

“It’s kind of standing its ground,” one of the hunters can be heard saying. “Just keep a tree close to you.”

That advice turned out to be sage wisdom, although the deer allowed one of the hunters to walk to within a couple of steps before reacting.

Be sure to watch the video to see what happens when the deer finally has enough. It’s enough to make you think twice before playing around with a buck.
