SEDALIA, Mo. (AP)--- A Sedalia, Mo., 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 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 its 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.
