RE: I have read of bucks attacking hunters, have you?
one incident happened in calhoun county arkansas several years ago . a husband and wife were walking on a rural county road when they saw a buck. he was a pretty good buck. they both commented on how pretty he was and continued walking , thinking he would leave the area. he didnt !
he walked onto the road behind them and with ears back started walking toward them . the couple got tense at this point. the he husband told his wife to start walking down the road and he would try and spook the deer. the deer didnt spook and attacked him. the man tried to fight the deer off but couldnt. a buck deer would give any man more fight than they would want. !!!!!
Finally for whatever reason the buck ran off. the man suffered some pretty bad injuries .
this was in the newspaper .
rare it is ! but it does happen .
