Down but not out
When you shoot a deer you'd better make it good apparently. Or else you may end up getting thrashed, as did a Mississippi hunter recently.
When Lonnie Jones ducked into the brush to retrieve the trophy that he'd just downed with his muzzleloader, the not-quite-finished buck decided to come after him. And managed to land a few healthy kicks to his butt, actually lifting him off the ground each time.
The buck succumbed, however, and Jones got his prize, but not before he was good and black and blue.
Now I wonder, if Jones didn't have a gun and had to wrestle this particular deer to the finish, it might well be Jones' flank simmering away in the cast iron fry pan amid the onions and garlic today.
Food for thought.
I've often thought its a good thing deer never carry a gun in the woods. The majority of our great white hunters would be in deep do-do....

Now there's a picture... Jones' flank simmering away in the cast iron fry pan amid the onions and garlic...
Christmas dinner anyone?

Good for the buck. Too bad to snuff out such a spirited animal. Hopefully this man and his family could use the venison...and did with thanks to the great buck's spirit...vs killing it for sport or "trophy". .
A gun (from more than 20 paces no doubt) vs. a buck with obviously powerful defenses is no contest...nothing to be boastful about really. Now, give Buck a muzzleloader and the ability to use it or Hunter Jones hooves and a rack and maybe we're talking "fair fight".
