FOND DU LAC, Wis. – Authorities say a deer wounded by an arrow in eastern Wisconsin turned on the bow hunter in an attack that sent the 72-year-old man to a hospital.

Fond du Lac County sheriff's officer Jeff Bonack says the hunter was tracking the wounded doe through thick brush in Taycheedah when she leaped out and struck him in the leg with her head Friday evening.

Taycheedah is 70 miles northwest of Milwaukee.

Bonack told Action Reporter Media (http://fondul.ac/14ahIXH ) the man was taken to a hospital with unknown injuries.

He said the deer apparently got away.

yeah read this the other day. good doe.

my take is - don't kill, stop hunting. if you must hunt for whatever BS reason you have, then learn to make a clean kill (without causing much pain/suffering). otherwise you deserve to rot in h3ll.

edit - in case it is not clear - i am tolerant of hunting as long as you don't let the animal suffer.

There are so many deer in WI that not hunting them will cause more of them to die slowly from starvation and weaken the overall population.

I got no problem with deer hunting, at least in Michigan and the U.P. of Michigan. There's millions of the freakin things here so I don't have a problem with hunters killing some.

This reminds me of that guy around here, in that one thread ~last year, that truly believes a wild deer is in no way dangerous to anyone on a public street.

Whats more humane, killing and eating caged animals that barely get to move their whole lives or killing something that can decide to fight back if it doesn't want to be eaten. This is what hunting should be.

Sounds like that guy lives in a big city and has no clue what he's talking about.

Well theoretically all the hunters are going for the clean kill. Shit happens sometimes though, and every bullet doesn't go exactly where you intended it to go. I'm fine with the wildlife fighting back though. You're trying to murder the damn thing. You should expect it to respond just like the desperate animal that it is. That includes trying to take you out before you take it out. It's strange to me that going out in the woods to murder wildlife is a safe enough activity that a 70 something year old man can engage in it with a reasonable amount of certainty that nothing will hurt him. It's getting too easy at that point IMO. Sometimes we need a little reminder that wildlife wants to live just as much as we do.

I'm sure the deer appologized for not being still and presenting a better target when shot.

What's done now isn't really hunting. Sitting in a covered stand looking over a baited field.

Not that I really care because that's what I would do if I hunted.

that was basically 90% of the responses. ...it might have been a 2013 ownage nominee, if I recall correctly. It was a story, with video, of two cops shooting a deer standing on a sidewalk, near an extremely busy road.

:hmm:

That's pretty funny actually. :thumbsup:

This is like saying the only true form of fishing is jumping in a lake trying to wrestle a salmon with your bare hands.

Are you saying I've been doing it wrong all this time?

:hmm:

Nothing wrong with hunting - it is mostly recreational (certainly vital to those who have decided to live off of the wilderness). But, what are you doing hunting, at 72 years old??

If this was 1850, I can understand,.. you need to eat in order to live. But, we live in modern times - have a can of Ensure instead.

I understand he was doing it for recreational purposes and probably exercise. But, take a hike, ride a bicycle - why put yourself in the path of a wild animal? He isn't 20, 30 or even 40 something, where could handle himself. He is an over 70 man, who got his ass handed to him by a wounded deer. Stay home.

How is that not hunting? Hunting has always been about using what is unique about your species to catch another species.

Hunting isn't about being fair. Its about tricking, trapping, and killing another creature for the purpose of food. Cats do it by laying in wait and attacking from multiple vectors (and targeting the weakest in the pack). Humans do it by finding a optimal area (or making an area optimal) and hiding our presence (aka by using what makes us unique, technology).

This is like saying the only true form of fishing is jumping in a lake trying to wrestle a salmon with your bare hands.

Maybe ancient man had corn plots too but that's not the way they do it in the movies.

Now, it's more like target practice.

I'm guessing the guys in this thread suggesting that you kick a deer are some real outdoorsmen. Kicking wild animals: a great idea since never.

LOL

Feral cat.

Sometimes things don't always go according to plan. Have you ever made a mistake in something even though you were trying to handle it very carefully? I'm sure the instantaneous death rate for farm animals going to slaughter isn't absolutely 100% perfect either. Do you eat meat?

These guys can fuck you up. They probably won't but if you scare them and they can't get away...
