Basically a hunter shot and killed a deer. But while driving the carcass behind his ATV had a roll over and the buck got in another word... antlers in his right torso.

Stuff like this happens every year.... be careful out there.
 
A hunter from Saskatchewan many moons ago died when his femoral artery was punctured while loading a buck into a truck. Accidents happen but most can be avoided with a little forethought.
 
I know a kid that on a school trip must have jumped a buck before almost stood on it. Buck tried going threw him....antler went in kids mouth before he got plowed over. Almost ripped his entire jaw off.

Rumors was he was attacked but he said the entire class was there and buck was trying to hide before they got too close. Kid was 13 at the time
...think he got over 100 stitches and reconstructive surgery.
 
I slipped on some ice a few years ago while up near the head of a small 6 pointer I got. Antler punctured/ripped a huge hole right through my Muck Arctic Pro boots, but luckily the Carhartt pants I had on tucked in underneath my boots stopped it from going into or through my calf muscle. Left a pretty good bruise though.
 
Ive ripped my arm open bad enough i should have made the 750km round trip to the hospital to get stitches while dragging out a black bear. Got tangled up and tripped falling on a fallen tree and took the lower canine tooth to the arm

Ive also had my left shoulder ripped out of place by a 4 point whitettail while trying to slit its throat after spined with an arrow. He caught my wrist is his antlers and had more life left than i ever expected. I managed to finish him with my knife but 11 years later im still paying the price. Now i waste the arrow and make sure theyre dead before approaching. Things happen

A friend of mine doesn't like "wasting a bullet", or maybe causing more meat damage. Small price!

I know one conservation officer who slipped backwards off a quad and took an elk antler straight up the poop loop. Luckily there was no permanent damage.

Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode. So when the CO goes in to explain to the Doc what happened to his torn poop shute I wonder if the Doc rolled his eyes when the CO said, "It was one a million Doc, one in a million". :rolleyes:

I take it you’ve never been around a cow when you’re shooting and processing it, you don’t want to be anywhere near it while it’s final kicks are happening. I helped a friend process a dairy steer a few years back, I’d made me appreciate how easy processing a deer or bear really is. You don’t need a tractor to move or suspend most wild game, cows are just bloody huge.
