Deer gets revenge after hunter shoots him

In all fairness we should not wish financial dredgery upon a human because he is a hunter. I agree it was not a fair fight, but some people in the mountain areas consume a fair amount of deer venison.

Uh, Shawn. Does eating something after you kill it make it ok? We could go far on this one. I'll refrain. But explain to me the necessity of killing for food in this country when there's a McDonald's on every corner? It's not as if he or his family would starve without this deer meat. This is a sport, let's not try and make a justification argument here.

If you kill for sport, what pulling the trigger on your gun leads to (hospital bills, accidents, injuries, animal attacks, etc) is your own damn fault. Needless to say, the hospital isn't responsible for informing this hunter that what he did was wrong. I agree with caroaber, maybe this will cause him to pause before he picks up the riffle next time.

Alot of people still eat the deer they kill.  I know, because I'm related to some.  Eating at McDonalds still relies on killing an animal.  Venison is going to be healthier than anything you eat there anyways.  Barbaric or not, an animal has to be killed in order to eat it. 

In addition, in alot of places, hunting season exists in order to control the deer population.  If that didn't happen, the deer would be running out in the street causing car accidents.

Sure, I know because I'm related to some as well. My grandfather had his proud taxidermy deer heads mounted on the wall. It used to frighten me as a child. It still frightens me, but for different reasons.

My McDonald's comment wasn't a justification for vegetarianism, just merely that it was not NECESSARY for him to kill in order to eat. If you live off the land and that is your main source of food, it's not my place to tell you to live on twigs or whatever... The point was we kill enough animals for meat. This guy wasn't off to gather meat for his family dinner, he was hunting for sport.

Again, the justification for this argument is lost on me. We have too many people in this country, should we go off killing them all to control the population? Maybe the reason the deer run into the street causing car accidents is because we built freeways, houses and businesses on the land they once roamed freely. Is that their fault we've grown as a populace and now see them as a nuisance....or target?

Eating at McDonalds still relies on killing an animal. 

Correct, but rarely does the burger jump back up and attack you in a bloody mess.

 I never stated that he only survives off of deer meat, you should not put words in my mouth. Just because McDonald's offers cheap food does that mean a man does havea right to hunt? Like everyone else here said, McDonalds kills millions of cows each year.. Whats the difference?

I was here to try and defend the man that someone wished him harm/financial loss against. And all you are trying to do is push your PETA views upon me. Do i know for a fact that he was not trophy hunting? Of course not but I have never met a hunter that would throw away perfectly good deer venison.

I'll make you a deal you stop the slaughtering of millions upon millions of cows each year and get everyone to eat only fruits and vegetables I will join PETA myself. But until then please don't try to justify your point with another reference to animals being slaughtered... Kind of defeats the purpose! :)

I would gladly send you some deer jerky or bologna if you you want to send me some McDonalds gift certificates.. ::smirk::

Good point  - It seems that non hunters here only care about Bambi (large animals). Do they care about small creatures that are killed by other human activity -- not unless they see it, but then what do they do about it.  Vegetarians don't think about the bugs, squirrels, gophers, mice etc, killed by the farming process. This is a good example of an issue where there is going to be lots of name calling and no opinions changed.  Just to put it on record -- I am NOT a hunter but I do respect the opinion of hunters as well as the opinion of non hunters. Just don't try to tell me that killing a human should be the same as killing an animal -- (as has been mentioned by other posters)

Do you participate in any sport? Name any sport that doesn't harm ANY animals (or do you just care about big animals) --Do you not care if your activities harm animals -- just hunters activities? I'm just asking, I am not a hunter, I don't like burgers but I do kill gophers, mice and rats and I don't even eat them.  Almost every human activity harms SOME animal. Is it OK if it is not "sport" because I don't see the distinction. 

What the hell are you talking about venison is like filet mignon. If god didn't want us to masticate the flesh of his creatures they wouln't be so damn tasty!

Courtney,

I don't call people names -- but you came close. How in the world can you feel bad for the "poor deer" and then advocate hunting people? WTF. This is just a silly story and I'm sure the hunter feels bad about having not killed the deer cleanly (and even worse since the deer kicked the crap out of him). Did you want him to walk away from a wounded animal? There are differing opinions on hunting just as there are opinions on every subject -- don't get so worked up on this one -- there are far more important issues to be concerned about. You know what they say about opinions -- just like as----es, everybody has one.  This hunter will be the butt of jokes around the campfire for years to come.
