I was severly threatened by a deer one time, two weeks before rifle season and I was hunting coyotes, a very shallow creek with low banks and about 50 feet seperated us as he pawed, snorted, beat the brush with his anlers and in no uncertain terms explained to me those were his does.
If he would have came down the bank I was going to kill him if those fragile varnmints bullets would have done it.
My brother heard my cussin'and yellin' at him over 300 yards away. It worked, he left, bucks in rut sometimes do kill folks, watch the video of they guy that put the deer scent on him sometime if you get the chance, nasty.
