What? You mean that's never happened to you?

Garand Guy · November 3, 2005, 09:27 PM

Weeeeeel doggies! Can't say I'm supprised...the article did say Arkansas. These guys probably do this kind of thing every Saturday night just for fun.

To answer the question, "Do you need a rifle", I'd have to say yes. Some of us just aren't that sporting.

I just gota ask a crazy question. If the guy broke the deers neck how did blood splatter all over the walls

Blackwater OPS · November 3, 2005, 09:50 PM

Maybe it was his?

DimitriS · November 3, 2005, 10:56 PM

Dam I dont know about any of you but if I saw a deer running around in my house I would use something other then my hands to deal with it. At the very minimum my pocket knife thats always in my left pocket but a shotgun or rifle would be my 1st pick

He is one strong hearted bada$$.

As for the blood maybe he riped the deers ears or something off ??

I dont know what newspaper it was its been too long but someone in Africa like 80 years old killed a leapered (I think) that attacked him by ripping out his tongue because you bleed alot faster there or something. So the animal died really fast.

Ether way him and the older man from Africa are some tough guys.

I truly have a relative that took a bet for a blueberry milkshake that he couldn't take a deer with a knife. (He married her later)

It is on the wall to this day, with a brass plaque that says "Blueberry". He was in a tree over the trail.

Coop de Ville · November 3, 2005, 11:38 PM

The blood was probably from the deer's injuries as it crashed through the window.

I bet those antlers could poke yer eye out....

Reporter's embellishment or cuts from hooves? Not only are the horns dangerous but a deer's hooves can cut like razors.

Good shooting and be safe.

Anyone ever read the Du Pre novels of Peter Bowen? Take place up in Montana?

The main character tells a story about a man who hunts deer with only a knife to slit its throat after he's wrestled it to the ground. After reading this, I believe it.

And thought those old guys in the gun store were just joshing.... !

Eghad · November 4, 2005, 01:37 AM

I know the price of meat in the grocery store is high but.................

jefnvk · November 4, 2005, 01:59 AM

So much for not being able to hunt in city limits

BlueTrain · November 4, 2005, 07:15 AM

There has actually been a "rash" of deers running amok in stores in the D.C. area lately.

A week or two ago a deer managed to get inside a couple of stores in Georgetown, which is a Washington, D.C., neighborhood about five blocks from the White House. The police managed to get the deer out of the store somehow and it was released in Rock Creek Park, which is in D.C.

Then in this morning's Washington Post there is the story of another deer, this one in one of the Maryland Suburbs, that went through a store window and wandered around until a couple of store employees tackled the deer (!!!) and held it down until the police arrived. The police killed this deer, however, since they thought it was badly injured.

Then there is the case of the beavers that cut down one of the Japanese cherry trees near the Jefferson Memorial. We are overrun with wildlife around here.

I think a baseball bat or just a pipe would probably do the trick for CQDB, Close Quarters Deer Battle.

I've heard of native Bondoc dwellers in the Philippines where they hunt wild boars by baiting them and jumping them from top of trees killing them with sharpened shafts or knives. When Tarzan must eat he don't need no stinkin' rifle.

MeekAndMild · November 4, 2005, 07:47 AM

So where was his pointed stick when he needed it?

sterno · November 4, 2005, 08:16 AM

My favorite part of the article is when he says the deer is in his freezer.

Now that's a well deserved meal.

Clayfish · November 4, 2005, 10:40 AM

Those poor defensless deer. They could never hurt anyone. They are furry peacefull creatures. This deer probably knocked and only wanted to borrow a cup of sugar for his wife and kids when this evil man tortured and murdered him. PETA is going to get a call about this! The streets are no longer safe for any creature that just wants to coexist with us evil humans.

Bowtier · November 4, 2005, 10:52 AM

I remember when I was little (maybe 7-8) my mom worked in a nursing home 3rd shift. A doe jumped through the big window in the lobby area. The glass cut the deer up really bad & the town LEO had to come out & put it down...in the nursing home

Mom brought pictures home, it looked like someone splattered 2 five gallon buckets of blood all over. couldn't believe it.

Crazy deer...windows are for birds

yoippari · November 4, 2005, 07:45 PM

I was just talking to a guy in class today who has an uncle that bow hunts. His uncle shot at a deer with his bow and thought he killed it. He walked up and I guess to be sure he slit its throat. He started to look for his arrow and found ti 20 feet up a tree and there was no wound in the deer.

Eightball · November 4, 2005, 08:30 PM

Saw that article. Made me laugh....and then think "Wow....I'm afraid of that man, now"

. Of course, this could be a lesson along the lines of "always keep yourself armed at home, so that you'll never have to wrestle a deer to death

.

Drue · November 4, 2005, 08:58 PM

Uh, I think that I would rather wimp out and use a rifle. . .

MoW · December 14, 2005, 08:19 PM

Funny thing, I saw today on MSNBC about the growing number of incidents where people are being ATTACKED by deer, more and more often

Death from Afar · December 14, 2005, 08:51 PM

In Capsticks book, "death in the silent places" there is a stpry about a farmer in africa who killed a lion with a pocket knife. Its his world, we just live in it...

DimitriS · December 14, 2005, 09:01 PM

I just reread this thread and I have found the artical I was talking about:

http://www.news24.com/News24/Africa/...725526,00.html

Quote:

Man rips leopard's tongue out
23/06/2005 08:35 - (SA)

Nairobi - A 73-year-old man used his bare hands to tear out the tongue of a leopard that attacked him in Kenya and killed it, a newspaper said on Wednesday of an incident confirmed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).

The 73-year-old Daniel M'Mburugu was working in his potato garden near Mount Kenya in the centre of the country when the animal, apparently aggressive, hurtled from nearby grass and charged towards him.

"It let out a blood-curdling snarl that made the birds stop chirping. I froze for some seconds, then it dawned on me that death was staring at me on the face," he told the Standard Newspaper.

M'Mburugu, a peasant farmer, dropped the machete he was carrying and forced his hand into the leopard's mouth, pulling out its tongue in an act of self-defence, according to the report in the daily.
