Day Of The Night Of The Hunter

When you hear tales from hunters, you hope to be told something exciting and ironically just. Example?

A hunter bagged a big buck on the second day of the season, and thought two well-placed shots with his .270-caliber rifle had killed the buck. Randy 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.
