Default RE: butt kicked by a deer? or other big game?

I help out with deer captures once in a while, and I use to go on several each year back when I was in college. We would go out on various private ranches and catch X amount of bucks and sometimes does in a 1-3 day span. We use a helicopter that chases the deer out of the brush and then the "gunner" shots a net over the deer as its running. We then have several trucks of people who are either on the "processing crew" or the "chase crew". I was on both crews several times, and I got my share of kicks and close calls with antlers. I remember one year, a student was holding down a buck when he threw his head back and his G2 went straight through the kids hand. Luckly it missed all the muscules and blood vessels. Its fun to be apart of, but you always have to be on your guard.
