I used to go duck hunting regularly and it never cost me more than a loaf of bread and a hammer. Then they threw me out of the park.

How tragic is that.

As to the hunter themselves being hunted .... what a joke. High-powered rifles shot from a distance.

A deer has better hearing, better eyesight, better camouflage, knows the terrain better and can run a hell of a lot faster than you can. Very few hunters fill their tags every year.

not trying to take the hunter's life. None of what you listed does the deer use on the offensive, only as defense. So pretty much a sport that only one player has consented to playing.

I don't really think that would be helpful to the deer. Where would they get ammo? If they got ammo, how would they load it? How would they shoot it? They don't have opposable thumbs so it would be quite difficult for them to handle a rifle safely, heck they would probably only injure themselves or their offspring by mishandling a loaded rifle. How would they even know what a rifle is? They don't have a memory you know, only instincts. That's why they frequently only run off 30 yards after being shot at (and missed)...they only run as far as they need to to forget the danger.

I wouldn't be able to watch that video. After watching it multiple times, I am marveling at the beauty of its attack.
