cmon!
No kidding!!! Whitetails are damn tough critters.

One day I watched across a slew about 30 yards across two tops of some alder brush being trashed by a buck as he made a rub. I didn't see the buck, just the tops of the alders. The tops would rattle back and forth as he pushed into them, then start to criss cross as I guess he was twisting his head. After he was done I crossed the slew to check out the rub. The two alders were about a foot apart, and easily 6 inches in diameter. That buck trashed those alders... A 1/2 inch bungee ain't gonna stop a buck for a split second.
