i had a buck a few years ago that a buddy hit and it ran into the river. I was just about to finish it off when it fell and began to float downstream so i set my gun down, and went in after it. the water wasnt past belly deep i grabbed him by the horns and started hawling him back when we got to about knee deep water he suddenly jumped to his feet. This scared me so bad that i stumbled backward and fell into the water. The deer stuck his head and headed toward me we were about 3 ft away. Luckly he stumbled and couldnt get up so i managed to get back to my gun and finish the job. I told my buddy that he should let me bag the buck sense he wasnt very big and that he would hang well on my wall. But he insisted that he take him, but i always wonder what would of happened if he had got ahold of me.
