The 8-pointer I killed this year hopped, then stood there after I arrowed him. Once his legs got wobbly, he tried to run and did a face plant into a water oak. It broke his jaw and knocked out a couple of teeth. Buddy of mine shot a doe with a muzzleloader and she broke her neck running into a tree.

Quite a few years ago, I remember where 4 or 5 deer jumped through the big glass window at the front of the local K-Mart. 1 died from glass cuts and a couple others had to be put down.

About two years ago I was walking to my truck during gun season. I look in the field and there is a nice buck. I attempt a stalk and failed. As the deer took off through the field I shot. I went to look for blood, nothing. I look over to the edge and there he is. I looked for a bullet hole and there wasn't a scratch on him. He had hit a tree and broke his neck.

Well, this dispels the notion that deer are graceful.....

I kicked two does up and they headed for a farm fence and the first one caught the fence with her back leggs and pulled it down. Best I can figure is that the fence looked shorter to the following deer because it sprang back up and she got both front leggs in it and fell in a tangled heap. She quickly got up and was gone, no worse for the wear. I laughed out loud and was happy for the privilage to see a rare sight of mother nature goofing up.
I read somewhere once that humans are the only animals that blush..

About 10 years ago, during "the year of the ice", I watched a group of 3 bucks attempt to travel down a hillside that was covered with very thick ice. I could see all 3 of them spreading their legs wide and saw their eyes get big as they "sledded" down the hill. The one in the front--a 6 point--ran smack into a large oak tree near the bottom of the hill. I had to muffle my laughter.

One of them Monster Bucks video show a guy hunting in Canada, I believe, that shoots a big buck with a rifle, the deer takes off running and runs full steam into a huge tree, head first. Even the camera man laughed.

There is a huge bridge about an hour away from my house. Last year 7 deer were running down the bridge and the light turned green and when the traffic started to come, they all jumped about 100 feet to their deaths. I figured the ground didn't give too much.
