I think it is funny that the deer is probably still alive and experienced in such matters. As if the deer needed any experience.
I know a guy who got a badly broken nose from a deer he that wasn't completely dead. After he shot the deer, he got the bright idea to take the last little bit of life from the deer, and cut it's throat with his knife. He straddled the deer, and when he grabbed the deers ear, the deer bucked its head and smashed him squarely in the face not once but twice. He said that he didn't hold on much longer, and just laid by a tree wondering if he would die before the deer did. The deer finally bled out from the gun shot and died. Not from a cut to the throat since that didn't happen. He said it was a good thing it wasn't a spike buck.
