It's getting harder out there every day folks.

ALBION, Ind. -- A northeastern Indiana hunter has died after struggling with a buck he had just shot.

That sucks! Thats part of the reason I carry a sidearm with me during deer season. Deer look so timid but when they are pissed there hooves will cut like knives with there powerful blows. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. RIP in ol deer hunter.

I've never shot a deer but aren't you supposed to wait long enough to make sure it's dead?
Sneak up with round loaded and barrel poke it? It moves Blamo!
Is this common for folks to get injured by deer they just shot?

Sad RIP.

Yes that is correct. Always approach an animal from the rear with a loaded gun and finger on the trigger. Some say poke its eye with the gun barrel but I just poke its hind qaurter with the end of the barrel. Unless you are hunting with a bow and arrow but then they say you should wait a few hours.
