some funny stuff, many years ago I was out hunting with a freind and his dad, First time hunter. He ended up shooting a deer, and it ran about 50 yards and fell out of sight, He looked at me like it was my fault and asked what do we do? I looked at him, and said we need to sneak to where we last saw it, so we go for it, Sure enough, it was right their, laying flat, head on the ground and all, looked dead alright!! we were about 10 or so yards from it, thinking I would be funny, I tossed my arms up and yelled stop!!!! Its not dead!! I picked up a rock about the size of a baseball and nailed that deer with it, and the dang thing got up and took off!!! OMG the look on my freinds face was priceless!!!! And i almost messed my shorts!!! It didnt go far before falling over dead for good. This is the funny part, the dum part happend the year before.
I shot a small buck the last day of season, bout 200 yards with my 270, it was across a hay feild and right out of the tree line, I heard the thud, the deer went down, it got back up and stumbled into the tress and fell over, so me and my buddy get up and head over to it. walk right up to it, unload gun, set up on tree, take off pack and get ready to feild dress, I reach down, grab a hind leg and pull on it, I was talking to my freind and looking at him, while pulling, all the sudden his eyes light up and I feel a yank on my arm like never felt before, Took me right off my feet, I face planted righ into the ground, I didnt even know what was going on. That dang deer was not done yet. When i looked up, I saw the deer standing about 15 yards way looking at us, my buddy popped it in the neck, I just layed there for a few!!! My arm hurt for about 2 weeks. Lesson learned, In fact thats why i tossed a rock at my freinds deer the next year, no more walking up on alive animals for me!!! Really weird i think, never had it happen again, they have been dead everytime, but im ALWAYS cautious!!
