I think deer do the "mule kick" more then we realize regardless of the hit. The 1st time I ever seen It was on a hunting video along time ago. There was no way anyone would of picked It up In real time motion but being they slowed It down It was unbelievable on how high the back legs were In reference to the bucks head, they were damn above the bucks head. I never would of thought that possible.

Guess what, he missed that buck taking a chunk of hair off of his back.
