AWESOME Pictorial & Story...

[FLIPPER]

Shamelessly "borrowed" from another site.

Mike a man I have been training lives in northern Calhoun county. That county is deer heaven, I have never seen so many in herds.
Anyway he called last night and said that in the little creek in front of his house, 2 deer had been fighting up the hillside and became locked together
and ended up going down the hill and into the creek. Mike said that over the years, this is the third pair of deer he has found locked up, although the other 2 were dead when he found them. He and a neighbor were attempting to save one of the deer, both of which were nice trophy deer. They shot one with an arrow (they both have bow permits) and then they tried to separate them and release the other one. In the process Mike got injured when the live deer was bucking around. Mike had bone chips in his wrist and elbow, and got gored twice. They then had no choice but to shoot the second deer. They tried to separate the horns and couldn't. They then skinned out the deer and took the heads to a local taxidermist and they still could not get them apart. Amazing that they could become that entwined. They are having the heads mounted......that should make a very interesting mount.
I will attach the series of pics that they took of the ordeal

Holy crap. I remember seeing something like that years ago in a local newspaper. What the heck is he going to do with the chainsaw? lol

Wow. That is some amazing footage there! They just had to keep at it.

WOW! He should have put both down as they will not feel real friendly even if you get them apart. Here is a true story that happened to my Uncle as he drove I-20 from Shreveport to Monroe, La. As he headed east he hit a Buck with a company pickup, pulled over and could see the Buck in the grass median. Not wanting it to get back up and cause another accident, he looked for something to dispatch the Buck. All he could find was a tire tool, so out he goes to brain this buck, as he gets out there the deer goes at him, he drops the tire tool and holds on!
About this this a Pulp Wood truck pulls up behind my uncle's pickup and ask if he needs some help? Heck yeah, you got anything to kill this thing? One of the pulpwood cutters takes his McCoullagh Chainsaw, chranks it up and "RIIIPPPP!" Right across the deer's neck! It was dead to say the least. They asked what my uncle was gonna do with it. He said "Take it and that chainsaw and haul it away!" He said he was covered in Mud, Blood and water from head to toe. Wish I had a picture! LOL John

Ah, the smell of woodsmoke, the first bite of winter's kiss in the air, faint strains of banjo music....such is the stuff of amped up anticipation during chainsaw season in Lousiana.
