Hunter dies after ‘scuffle’ with deer he shot

BY TINA SFONDELES Staff reporter/tsfondeles@suntimes.com November 15, 2011 8:10PM

(ALBION, Ind.) Authorities believe a Fort Wayne man died after his liver was lacerated during a “scufffle” with a deer he shot in an Indiana state park.

Paul J. Smith, 62, died Monday while participating in the deer reduction hunt at Chain O’Lakes State Park in Albion, Ind., a release from the Indiana Dept. of Natural Resources said.

An autopsy by the Noble County Coroner’s office ruled the death was due to a lacerated liver, possibly from an encounter the hunter had with a deer he shot.

Smith called his son shortly after 9 a.m. on Monday and left a voice message that he’d shot a buck. But when Smith’s son returned the call about 10:30 a.m., Smith told him that after descending from his treestand to field dress and tag the deer, he discovered the deer was still alive, the release said.

4. Deer hunting 101
Approach downed deer with extreme caution, antlers and hoofs are extremely dangerous and sharp. Track wounded animal until visual contact is made. Assuming a lethal wound, quietly watch the animal until it hasn't moved for at least 5 minutes. Approach the downed deer from behind, prod several times, reach around with a sharp knife with at least a 4" blade and cut the throat deep enough to sever carotid artery. Allow time to bleed out. Begin field dressing only when it is quite apparent the animal is dead. I have seen many novices run up to a downed animal..big mistake..it usually isn't the 62 year old hunters who make this novice mistake. I am curious how long this guy has been hunting, sometimes the experienced even get sloppy.

I almost peed my pants.
