A few years back I heard of a guy who shot a buck, and he then walked up to the deer thinking that it had expired.When he approached the deer he never checked the deer to see if it was still alive ,he grabbed the deer by the horn's and went to slit his throat.The deer reard with his head and caught the hunter in an artery in his leg with his horn. The hunter never made it back to his vehicle before he died.This can and did happen so be very careful when you approach a downed animal. I heard this story a few years back on the news coming home from a moose hunt .
