Peg-

That first one you posted was actually a guy who was testing deer urine (or something similar) as an attractant.... He put it all over himself on purpose.

I have to disagree. Discharging a firearm in a residential area like the one shown in the video is a bad idea.




Here is what I would do:

I would draw and start charging… yelling authoritativly and trying to be as menacing as possible and hopefully the deer would back off. If not, I would start kicking at the deer and see if that would make it back down.

I would not fire unless the deer started to attack me or squared up and started to get aggressive with me. I dont think you can justifiably discharge a firearm in that area in defense of a dog that will probably have to be put down anyway. Being able to tell the cop that you fired to defend your own life (or any other human life) is vastly different and IMO much easier to justify.


I have to disagree with ya Eric, if were my dog and I thought I could make the shot without hitting any people or the dog it would have been meat for the food bank. Those hooves are like knives and I'm not getting any where near them.

Yeah, I knew that...but it was still funny as hell.

Oh...that is good to know.  It will come in real  handy.  I'll have to get the product the next time I want to get trashed by a deer.   ;D ;D ;D

Totally agree, Sledge.

I remember being on a school trip to the Okefenokee Swamp (national park; wildlife refuge, I believe) in Folkston, GA. The park rangers told us to not feed the alligators, which were plentiful in the swamp. We took a boat ride and a girl in the boat behind us tried to feed one of the alligators. Well the alligator was evidently unimpressed with her show of hospitality and made a deep bellow that made the hair on the back all of our necks stand up. The girl panicked and nearly capsized their boat. Totally stupid....

and I rest my case!
The more people interact and want to play god with wild animals the less they will feel threatened and accidents occur. In the top end of australia, tourists are taken out in boats, they all hang out over the side as idiots with large poles feed the crocs chooks. ergo crocs associate people with food.

Grizzly kills man near Wyoming's Yellowstone park
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - A grizzly bear killed a Wyoming man outside Yellowstone National Park, apparently just hours after researchers trapped and tranquilized the animal.

The attack happened Thursday in the same place where two researchers with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team had examined a large adult male grizzly earlier that day, Park County Sheriff Scott Steward said Friday.

The suspect bear was wearing a radio collar. Authorities didn't intend to venture into the woods to chase the animal, however

They hoped to trap it — again — and do DNA testing to see if it was indeed responsible.

"Certainly there is a good chance it was the bear they were working on," Steward said. "There's certainly the exception, where it's just another bear."

Shoshone National Forest officials closed off the Kitty Creek area, about six miles outside the Yellowstone East Entrance, until further notice.

"There have been Forest Service people in the area talking to people who live in those cabins, and at the lodges around there, letting them know what's going on," forest spokeswoman Susan Douglas said Friday.

The victim was Erwin Frank Evert, 70, who went hiking around 12:45 p.m. from his cabin in the Kitty Creek drainage.

When Evert didn't return, his wife went looking for him and met one of the bear researchers. The researchers had been getting ready to leave the area but one of them returned to the place where they had found the bear in a previously set trap, then tranquilized the animal for study.

The researcher found Evert's body where they had left the bear to wake up, about two miles from Evert's cabin.

"My heart goes out for the victim and the family involved in this. Nobody would want anything like this to happen," Chuck Schwartz, head of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team based in Bozeman, Mont., said Friday.

The team is made up of federal and state biologists who monitor and study grizzlies in the Yellowstone ecosystem.

The researchers also had trapped and tranquilized another grizzly in the area Thursday.

Schwartz said there would be an investigation, including into whether required procedures were followed, such as posting warning signs about the grizzly research.

Schwartz said it wasn't certain whether the trapped grizzly had mauled Evert. But Chris Servheen, grizzly bear recovery coordinator with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said it's unlikely that another grizzly would have been in the same area as the large adult male.

"There's a very, very high probability that it was this bear," Servheen said.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department was working Friday to try to recapture the bear, agency spokesman Eric Keszler said.

Grizzly bears have been back on the federal list of threatened species since last year.
