There was a report some years back about a guy that was riding his mountain bike down a dirt road in November. He passed a buck on the fringe of the road and the buck charged him and knocked him off his bike. He got the buck in a leglock around the bucks neck and held his horns. He laid there for quite awhile, afraid to let go. Eventually someone came by and they released the buck and the incident ended. You never believe it till it happens to you. Most times they won't touch you, only come real close, but they are unpredictable at this time of the year.
