SEDALIA, Mo. - A hunter bagged a big buck on the second day of firearms season, but the kill caused him a lot of pain. Randy Goodman, 49, said he thought two well-placed shots with his .270-caliber rifle had killed the buck on Nov. 19. Goodman said the deer looked dead to him, but seconds later the nine-point, 240-pound animal came to life.

The buck rose up, knocked Goodman down and attacked him with his antlers in what the veteran hunter called "15 seconds of hell." The deer ran a short distance and went down, and died after Goodman fired two more shots.

Soon Goodman started feeling dizzy and noticed his vest was soaked in blood.

So he reached his truck and drove to a hospital, where he received seven staples in his scalp and was treated for a slight concussion and bruises

I think this is why you should give it a good 5-10 minutes before going after it. I've been fortunate enough to watch my deer go down. No hurry. They're not going anywhere. Just let 'em die if they're not already. Otherwise, I think you risk scaring it deeper into the woods, and maybe losing it.

It was always drilled into me growing up that even if you see your deer go down, and give it time to stiffen up, that you should ALWAYS approach the deer from behind with your firearm ready and poke it in the rear end with the muzzle to ensure that the animal has in fact expired.

The second year a friend of mine hunted with my Dad and I he approached an 8 ptr he had shot 25 minutes previous (that had dropped where it stood when shot) and as he got within about 10 feet of it the buck jumped up and ran another 75 yards  :doah: before hitting a tree and falling down. He now pokes them to make sure they are dead.   :whistling:
