RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

Hold your hands out to show the deer you mean no harm. Speak quietly but firmly and don't make any quick moves. Explain to him you mean him no harm and that you are just passing through. Try not to look at the large antlers, for that will only make him angry. After a few minutes of talking calmly the deer should settle down and slowly start walking away. Then you reach for your gun and shoot.

As funny and strange as it sounds,deer have attacked and killed a few people.A few years ago there were two deer attacks, if I remember right both were fatal. Attacks usually happen during the rut, so if you are hunting you'd be armed. Most other cases are "tame" deer that turn on their owners. I'd say the chances of being attacked would be on par with winning the lotto or lighning striking you, so I would'nt worry too much about it!

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

kill it!!!;)

Run like the wind or kill it.

Several years ago the man who owns WILDLIFE RESEARCH PRODUCTS was attacked by one of "his" bucks who measured around 100 inches. It was caught on tape. He held onto the antlers as best he could but the deer just pushed him around, and slashed him with it's hooves. After seeing that I now know that you can't hold the antlers with one hand and stab with the other without getting hurt. Just ain't no way. If it wasn't for someone else who was their to help him, he woulda been trashed! (worse than he was)

I'd hafta grab a big stick and pretend I was a major league ball player!

Let me add one. My great Uncle has always been the source of great stories in our family. In the 40's or 50's he poached a dear. He was driving down the road in Pennsylvania (lots of family still live up there) and saw a deer and shot it. He loads it into the back seat of his NEW car (I don't know if he had a tarp or what) quickly and heads home to gut it, etc. He has to drive thru town on his way to his house figureing that noone will be any the wiser. The deer isn't dead and comes to in the back seat. He's in a small space with a kicking pissed off deer and he doesn't want to be found out because he shot it out of season so he starts stabbing it with a hunting knife. He stabs it to death but his car is trashed. completely splattered with blood all over the inside. Over the years I have heard that story from several members of my family and if it wasn't for some of the other things my Great uncle had done I wouldn't be able to believe it.

Wait for permission from the U.N to defend yourself.

No really, throw your activated tarsal gland to one side and run the other way.

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

Well it's like this. I would run south. As the deer chased me, he would slip in the brown slick stuff and fall. Then I'd run east a few steps, north a few steps and west a few steps. when I hit the brown trail I'd run like hell north to where ever I came from. BYE, deer![8D]

i cant help but to lmao reading this thread, but in reality i would just die....

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

I think I kinda attacked one one time. I was coming back from a three day unsuccusseful hunt from Rock Springs and going down highway 46 an isolated two lane highway there was this car driving in front of me at about 55 mph, so I just followed behind it, I could see up ahead in the lights that a doe was about to bolt into this car in front of me, sure enough this doe ran into the side of this car, killing it, what I thought and since I had my hunting clothes on and knife I slit the deers throat because it was shaking and thrashing due to nerves. The lady driver was so shakened up I asked her to let her husband drive and she asked me if the deer was still alive, I said no that it was just its nerves and then they drove off, I reached on down to grab the deer to hoist her in the back of the truck and this deer came to life and became, "the deer from hell". This deer hoofed me, bucked me and made attempts to put its mouth on my arm as if tring to bite me but I knew if I let go this deer would be lost in the swamps but for about 2=3 minutes this deer beat the living daylights outta me dragging me down to the canal that was on the edge of the road. It finally exhausted all of its energy in my arms. What actually happened was the deer got knocked out from the impact. Funny thing about it was is I had my friends thinking I was grizzly adams when they came over the next day and the only wound the deer had was a knife slit to its throat. I told them I was napping in the woods and heard this sniffing and I grabbed this deer and bull dogged it down, Had them going for a couple days. ;) Bobby

Guys and Gals This board has been the best laugh i've ever had. Don't stop bein real.

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

I would just figure that turn about was fair play and try to reason with it.

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

lmao, I can't believe I didn't read this earlier. Had me laughing for three pages.

Worst case senario: Pants down around ankles and toliet paper in one hand. Gun proped up against tree four feet away and a buck walking up on you with that Tink's doe in heat look in his eye.

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

It wasn't in Newaygo was it. Newaygo is on the Muskegon River and Near Muskegon. I live there and have never heard of this. My buddy got a nice 8pt on the Manistee River by tackling it and drowning it. It was gutshot. He saw it while checking his trap line.[&:]

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

My Dad had two instances were a deer charged him. One was when he shot a deer and the deer just turned and ran right at him. My dad was squatting down when he shot and lost his balance and fell back. He saw the deer coming at him and shot him again the deer landed at his feet. I think that deer just happened to run his direction by chance.

The second time he shot a buck and when he got to the deer checking it out he heard something behind him. It was another buck charging him. He shot that one also. There was a fresh scape right next to were he was. Probably two bucks fighting over the same ground.

I have a article where and older man and woman were attacked by an eight point buck. The man was killed by the buck and the buck stood over the man and had to be shot by the sheriffs deputy, because the buck would not leave. The deer stood over the man for about 30 minutes!

The was another guy that was attacked by a buck a couple of years ago here in east Texas. He wasn't hurt bad but scared the mess out of the guy.

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

There was an older Gentleman attacked and kill at a dumpster on side a public road near Milledgeville, Ga (I believe the City is correct) a few years ago. The DNR had to shoot the 8 pointer before they could get to the mans' body. So yes, it does happen.

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

ATTACK IT BACK!!!!! Stand your ground and fight to the death. Just hope it will be the deers death. Now a moose on the other hand if they attack, my advice would be to TUCK TAIL AND RUN!!!!! out of the area as fast as you can.:D

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

People who visit Yellowstone + Bison who are peacefully eating grass = a confrontation of which makes for 1 - 5 injuries a year (most assuredly human). Usually its the French. For some strange reason the French are the ones who get killed. They walk up to the peaceful grass eating Bison and attempt to change its diet by popping it on the head with a baguette (thats bread fer us feriners). The Bison (a native wyomingite) promply tells the frisque frenchman "We don't give a S#*t what you eat in Fraaance! and proceeds to make Patte dust of zee poor frenchman:)

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

you mean he didnt field dress it right when he found it???(after tracking it)
So let me get this straight he dragged it to his car and put it in his trunk before field dressing it??? because you usually get rid of 40- 50 pound of weight for dragging it..

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

A few years ago we went spotting deer. My brother put the spotlight on a buck close to the road while my other brother thought he would see how far he could get to the deer by walking up to it. Since the deer was blinded but the bright light in its eyes my brother got pretty close to the buck and my other brother started laughing and moved the light out of the deers eyes long enough for the deer to see my brother. All I saw my my brother running for his life and jumping in a ditch. The deer spooked when he saw how close he was and charged him. I will never forget that night and needless to say my brother had to change his underwear when we got home..lol

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

wow this is so funny :D

The first deer i killed i shot at about 30 yds and i hit in the back it dropped and being me first deer i did not shoot again i was shocked i hit it. I waited until my dad showed up and we approched the deer it had been moving alot when i got to the deer it was doing circles i was trying to get a shot at it and it was not happy with me it was like hissing and trying to hit me in the ankles with it antlers and i finaly got a shot at its hart and put it down.

that is one way to learn that deer are still wild animals and can hurt you.

RE: If a deer attacks you what do you do??
 

last fall i had an encounter with an over aggresive buck, i was doing a little scouting the week before bow season, i had just came over the top of a hill in the pasture field and walked right up on a buck id been watching all summer, and had even gotten video footage of him from ten yards. i immediately dropped to the ground but he had already seen me. I figured that was the last id see of him but instead of running he started walking towards me, and i thought this was awesome so i just set there on my knees watching him and waiting for him to bolt any minute like he had before but he closed the distance to about ten yards and stopped, he turned sideways and layed his ears back and thats when i knew what was happening, i was in his territory and he wasnt having it. I didnt really know what to do i was in the wide open with no trees and all i had was a small pocketknife, i opened it up just in case worse came to worse, THEN i stood up so he could see i was human and waved my arms and yelled at him, he just kept coming in, i then slowly started backing up to gain a little distance so i could get to the edge of the woods, when i was abotu twenty feet from the fence he charged me but stopped about 6 feet away, fight or flight kicked in and i turned and busted it for the woods, hurdled a barb wire fence caught my pants on it and slammed down to the other side, he was abotu 15 feet away watching me, i un tangled my pants form the fence and walked away, oh yeah i killed it the second day of bow season heres a pic

While hunting in Maine during Muzzleloader season a few years ago ,my brother shot a nice Buck , was suprised when it did not act like it was hit and then ran off. He reloaded and went to where it was and found a little Blood and hair. trailed it for a little bit and kept finding more blood ,so he figured he would just sit and wait a bit then go collect his deer, after about an hour wait he trailed about a 1/4 mile to find it laying down with its head up looking alert . Not having a good shot form where he was he decided to get closer whenever the deer looked the other way . After a bit ,he blocked the deers veiw of where he was sneaking with a large tree , but also blocked any shot he might have .
finally after getting about 25 yards from the Deer he stepped out to get his shot ,now the deer was closer to the tree than he was and he has no where to hide , but was not thinking he needed one anyway , after putting another 250 grain , 50 Cal bullet in it , it leaps up and starts off away but only took afew steps before turning and heading straight for him , only had time to smack it with the barrel of the gun and step to the side as it went past . Then it just up and died as it was in the midst of turning for another run. He said it wasn't scary until after it had died as he had no time to think about it.
