One of the veteranarians in our county raises deer. He also hunts deer (he showed me his incredible trophy room) and even has won the NRA silver bullet award for a giant Alaskan moose he killed--it hangs in the waiting room! He was almost killed a few years ago by one of the bucks that actually " gored" him while he was tending to the other deer. One of the tines punctured his stomach and tore him up inside. Once he recovered, he killed that buck even though he doesn' t hunt any of the penned deer. It can be dangerous--esp during the rut.
