Deer gets revenge: Hunter becomes the target

In a display of what can only be called divine justice, a hunter was sent to hospital by a deer that he had just shot.   Randy Goodman was out on a routine hunting excursion when he came upon a buck minding its own business in the forest and fired on the beast.  The deer was struck by a single shot from Goodman's rifle.

The buck fell to the ground after Goodman's bullet struck but as the hunter neared to claim his victim the deer jumped up and kicked Goodman several times in the head.  Seems the buck was merely playing dead in an attempt to lure the hunter to his doom.  Looks like the deer got his revenge as it was Goodman who was handed his head.  Nature wins this round!


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.

So the hunter got his own medicine. Now he knows what it feels like to be hunted. "15 secs of hell".

Now Here is a Deer Attack!

Obviously a wounded deer pumped full of adrenaline will "attack" like this. Here is one that is an attack by a deer that's a bit more surprising.

People who feed the wild deer encourage human interaction. The result? Deer transfer ticks to people. They also approach moving cars causing damage to the vehicles. The deer does get his revenge but often is injured or killed.

Retard, I just watched your interview that you gave on TV. You must be from the back woods come place. That interview should have taken 1 minute at the most, and you managed to drag it out for almost 4. How gives a crap about you calling your son on his cell phone. Real hunters leave there cell phones home while there hunting. Then we did not need to hear about every deer that came out. I hope that buck knocked you right up along side of your head, and knocked what little brain you must have loose. Stay off TV you idiot.

 It's too bad that the idiot walked out of there and not the deer.

I actually work with Randy Goodman, and can say that he's the only hunter I know that I saw chase down a baby rabbit after it fled from its burrow when Randy ran over it with a lawn mower.  You people may love deer, but Goodman's worth more more than some deer's revenge.  ''Killer'' is tasty, too.  Worth the fight.

Where did all this take place?  Is this Goodman character by chance from Rochester, MN??

If so, he needs to contact Mike!
