Just because it's officially buck season doesn't mean deer will be cooperative after taking a few bullets.A Missouri hunter found that out recently when a seemingly dead 9-point, 240-pound buck arose and attacked him. Randy Goodman, 49, believed two shots from his .270-caliber rifle had killed the animal, but when he approached, the deer sprang up and greeted him with an antler onslaught the hunter later referred to as "15 seconds of hell."
The deer then attempted to escape, but Goodman put it down with two more shots. Minutes later, Goodman noticed he was bleeding and drove to a local hospital.
He was treated for a concussion and bruises and received seven staples in his head. We hope they also gave him a new pair of drawers.
Check out more crazy animal attacks after the jump.
Deadly Animal Attacks
In 2004, Orange County, Cal. mountain biker Mark Reynolds was attacked and killed by a 110-pound mountain lion while knelt over trying to fix his bike's chain. Later in the same day, the big cat pounced on another biker and had its jaws on her head when other cyclists came to her rescue. The animal was later put down by rangers.

There are less than 4,000 of these giant lizards on Komodo, living alongside the 1,200 human residents of the island. Thirty-three years had passed without incident before an 8-year-old boy got too close to a Komodo Dragon in June 2007, shattering the seemingly harmonious coexistence.

Hippos are not the cute animals many perceive them to be. They are extremely territorial, especially when in rut (a state of sexual excitement). In 1999, a horny hippopotamus mistook a tractor for a female and trampled a Parisian zoo director en route to the seductive machinery.

Sometimes an animal's rage only really comes out when it's a bit tipsy. Drunk off villagers' rice beer, a pack of elephants trampled six people in the northeast Indian state of Assam in 2002. "It has been noticed that elephants have developed a taste for rice beer and local liquor and they always look for it when they invade villages," explained an elephant expert after the incident.

Between July 1 and July 12, 1916, five people were attacked by sharks along the New Jersey shoreline, and only one survived. The Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 would later inspire Peter Benchley to write the novel "Jaws."

In 2006, chimps attacked and killed an employee of the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone. The chimpanzees also roughed up some American and Canadian workers. Word is they were docile moments before they flew into a rage, biting and tearing at the clothes of anyone within striking distance.
Professor Val Plumwood was famous in her native Australia for surviving the death roll of a saltwater crocodile, an extremely rare feat. She was not, however, able to survive the attack of a snake. The naturalist is believed to have been bitten a few days before being found dead on her property.

"Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin wrestled his nick-namesake and generally palled around with some nasty critters, but it was a seemingly benign stingray that took out the star of TV and movies. The animal's barb pierced Irwin's chest while he and his crew were shooting a documentary in 2006.

Though they haven't killed anyone yet, Australian farmers have recently starting voicing their concerns about hybrid wild dogs . Apparently, when a canine reaches 21 kilos, it has the ability to kill creatures its own weight and above to survive. Farmers say the dogs are currently at 19.5 kilos and growing larger.

Humans are fascinated by big cats, making the animals a major draw for zoos. One 4-year-old Siberian tiger at the San Francisco zoo didn't like all the crowd-pleasing, so it leaped over a 13-foot wall and killed one zoo patron, then mauled two others on Christmas Day of 2007.

Yea for the deer....I am sure that this hunter did not need this meat to feed his family, when there is a grocery store on every corner everywhere....can you imagine the panic of the poor deer, it was probably much worst than the hunters....

"the panic the deer..." "a grocery store on every corner..."
Can you imagine the panic of the cattle as they're herded into the slaughter house, smelling death and blood and hearing the panicked cries of their fellow beasts?
Can you imagine the stink, stench & foul conditions of a cattle yard?
Can you imagine the indignity of having to live in that filth?
NOW, can you imagine the "panic" of an oblivious animal as it walks to its regular feeding area that (optimally!!) is shot once and cleanly and drops dead? Even the panic of non a killing wound - followed shortly by a killing wound is short lived compared to the hours long lines for the slaughter houses and stock yards.
Have you ever seen a real deer hunt? Most of the time the deer don't register "death" with the pain. They feel a pain, and try to escape it and drop dead with a GOOD HUNTER behind the gun.
Idiots are everywhere. They are in everything. From Hunting to parenting to politics. We all hate idiots. But to condemn every living person in a group? Just sad.
Have a blessed day!!

Good for the deer, it is time men quit hunting
these beautiful animals and take a camera instead. Sorry about his injuries,but well
deserved. Animals do not have a gun and no
voice to espress their pain.

15 seconds of Hell? What a wimp. Hey let's ask the deer what it was like to be shot? Oh wait we can't he's dead. The big brave hunter hid behind a tree and killed him. 15 seconds of Hell? Give me a break.

FIRST OF ALL TO ALL YOU LEFT WING NON HUNTERS. I DO NOT HUNT. 2 REASONS. ITS COLD AND I DO NOT GET UP EARLY. THE LAST THING IM GOING TO DO IS SHOOT AN ANIMAL THEN GUT IT. NO THANKS. BUT IF YOU SHOOT IT, CLEAN IT, COOK IT, ILL EAT IT. UNLESS THAT DEER IS CARRYING A PISTOL TO SHOOT BACK, I DONT GET EXCITED. I LIVE HERE IN VT AND THE HUNTERS UP HERE START SALIVATING AND SWEATING AS HUNTING SEASON APPROACHES.IT HAS ITS BENIFITS. KEEPS THE HEARDS DOWN TO MANAGE THEIR OWN PRESERVATION AND BRINGS INCOME INTO THE COMMUNITY. OVER POPULATION OF DEER TENDS TO OVERFLOW ONTO THE HYWYS AND CAUSES EATH TO DRIVERS SO THINK BEFORE YOU BLAST OUT HUNTERS. I DO AGREE THE DEER GOT ONE LAST HURAH IN ON THE HUNTER.

I think hunting is nothing more than killing for fun. Anyone who finds joy in killing is twisted, ignorant and low class. Go to the supermarket for Christ's sake. I wish that deer would have inflicted more injuries to the Killer. You hunters who trapse around, trespassing and stalking animals, for days on end should get a freaking job.

Be careful, hunters. Remember: the Second Amendment guarantees the right to arm bears.

Another vegetarian on the side of the deer. If hunting is such a thrill, why not up the ante? Let the hunters hunt each other. For those who say people who care about animals should be out spending their time and energy helping people instead, what exactly are you doing toward that cause? It is possible to help both.

A deer, those rough, rugged, dangerous animals,,,,lol,,,and he is suppose to be a hunter,,,,lol. Go hunt a lion, by yourself, or a grizzley, by yourself. Show me your an actual hunter and that you give the animal a chance as well. I didn't think you would do that, then, you have to have guts and be willing to die, but, at least you would actually be a hunter. Sitting in a stand and reading a book or whatever and waiting for an innocent, defensless deer to come along, that just sounds so exciting,,,,yawn,,,I am sure you must be just a great shot to kill that, as it stande there and feeds looking downward, oh yes, the brave hunter,,,,,lol,,,oh yes.

Ok now its time to go out and kill more deer. We have to show them there will be dire consequences for such retaliatory strikes. They need to die quietly so as to not mess up the second shot on their pal. MMMMM Deer jerky

"Hunting are for brainless, low life , scums who have no regard for killing a living thing."
-- This is a senseless statement. You, perhaps we all, are forgetting the Native Americans who set the standard for "Hunting."
It is accomplished with respect, humility and dignity for that animal. It is NOT a sport, but a way of life. It is not "some game" that is a product of stupidity or boredom!
I'm not into revenge that the deer got his. Nor, that the hunters are the enemy. I am about educating the "mistaken common assumption" of many that think hunting is a sign of ignorance.
The skill of Hunting has been handed down in my family for many generations, and it will be continued for many more. And I will never be ashamed of this fact. Note that I say skill because yes we as humans are armed with intelligence to manufacture weapons for our advantage. Deer or any other animal that is hunted are armed with four legs and very acute senses. It's easy to say that we as humans have the advantage if you personally haven't had the priveledge to experience a hunt for yourself.
Don't forget the freedom these animals have unlike the animals fenced or caged up to suffice your appetite. However if you are like many people in todays age who are vegetarians I'm glad you're happy with the life you lead, I can only hope you can be open-minded enough not to criticize the choices of of others who don't share your same beliefs.

Poor hunter: he has gashes and a hospital bill; he has torn up his clothes; he has to face the embarassment of having made an awful shot; and he cannot even enjoy some delicious venison when he gets home. (Once the adrenaline in the creature is released, the meat is apparently not as tasty).

What great sport for assholes, a high powered rifle against an animal standing still or running for its life.Usually it's just men who have low self esteem and are lousy at every other aspect of life. Their own wives could kick their ass EXCEPT SHE'S TOO STUPID AS EVIDENCED BY HER MARRYING ONE OF THESE MINDLESS MORONS.

For Pete's Sake all of you--get a grip!
See if your feelings change when a deer commits suicide on your car and you have to pay through the nose to get your car fixed--don't swerve and hit that tree--your insurance won't pay a thin dime.
Deer are beautiful animals, true, but when allowed to overpopulate, they cause havoc on highways and streets. There are numerous HUMAN fatalities caused by a deer hitting a vehicle.
Culling of the herd is important to promote healthier deer as well as safer roads. I do not agree with some methods of deer hunting but you tree huggers are a slim part of the overall population and I for one am sick and tired of the idiocy you exhibit--"good for the deer"; gee whiz, everyone's gone nuts.
