Nah...she is a good one. 7 1/2mos pregnant and we have been going out for bears so she can shoot her first one. Almost got one the other night but it only showed us it's ass while feeding.....never turned broadside......had to let it walk. But soon.......trying to get her first game animal on video for her too.
I had a dead deer a few years back that looked dead to me but when I grabbed the antlers to pull him out of a poplar web he pulled back and his front end hit high gear.
Scared the crap our of me. Now no matter how dead it looks, it gets a
poke in the eye.

this reminds me of story my dad told me of the hunter that shoots the biggest buck of his life. He sticks his rifle in the antlers for a picture. Soon as he grabs the camera the deer gets up and runs away with with gun and all hahah
I've only had a turkey kick a couple times after i picked it up from both legs, one spur nicked me pretty good.

dead deer
I was hunting in the shotgun only area here on the Island and shot a nice deer about 25 yards off the gravel road. I had 00 buck on the 870 and the deer stood there broadside and dropped at the shot.I put the shotgun back in the truck and went down the little ditch to the deer and grabbed the back leg and started to drag it up to the road. The next thing I know is the deer is "waking" up and kicking back with his leg to get away.
I thought for sure this critter was dead, I dropped the leg and ran back and loaded the 870 again with another 00 buckshot load and shot it in the head. I checked the body after I skinned it out to find that only one pellet had hit the brisket bone down low on the chest. The shot stunned it enough to knock it down and made me believe it was dead. That was the first time that happened and I won't make that assumption again..............

Back in the 50's my aunt was out hunting deer with her 30-30 and dropped a nice buck with the old Winchester.
Before skinning she made it a general practice to cut the nuts off and the scent glands so none of the smell would contaminate the meat.
Well, after the shot and the critter dropped she goes over to cut the sack off and grabs hold and slices the whole thing off with one swipe of the sharp blade.
The deer then jumped up and made the mad dash to friendlier territory leaving her with a handful of mountain oysters to show for the days hunt.
After 50 or so years her hunting buddies never let her forget that trip......

This has got to be the best story ever. wow
Not dangerous game or anything, but...
I shoot any feral cats I see hanging around the yard. One that I nailed last year with a .22 shot straight up in the air about three feet, took off at Mach 4 for about 50 yards and keeled over. Typical behaviour. I sashayed over and grabbed it by the tail, then carried it to the woods about 100 yards behind the barn. A cat carcass dropped there usually vanishes overnight. I swung it backward, underhand, to toss it into the ravine. On the forward swing the d**n cat regained consciousness, grabbed my leg and sank 18 or 20 talons and about 500 teeth into my calf. Thank God for Carhartts. I spent what seemed like 20 hours trying to let go of the thing. I finally hobbled over to a tree and smacked him against it a few times. He finally dropped off, dead again. When my wife saw me come into the house in what was left of my coveralls she almost pissed herself laughing. She calls it the Lederhosen incident.
