Beers, steers, and deer
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
I heard the following recently, from a man who used to be an EMT in south Ga. and part of a unit that responed to this call from Coffee Co.
When they arrived on the scene late that evening they found a severly ingured man at the edge of a field.
His stomach had been completely torn open with
lacerations and brusies elsewhere. He also had a prominant ATV tire tread right across his chest.
The injured man's companion showed up in a racing model ATV shortly after thier arrival, clearly intoxicated.
This is his account of what happened (or a very close approximation imagine recited in the worst southern accent) He and his friend had been drinkin' and while riding around the edge of the field, they sighted a stand of deer in their headlights.
They were riding double, with the ingured man being the passenger.
"Hey man," he said"If you quarter off one of those deer I betcha I can bulldog 'im."
The driver seem to think this would be fun and proceeds to quarter off a buck and race him down.
His buddie then proceeds to leap off the ATV, grab the buck by the horns and perform an excellent example of this rodeo "sport" and had the animal's head pinned to the ground.
Until the buck decided to get up, throw his head back and tear his buddie's belly open.
The deer then proceeded to hit, kick and butt him some more for good measure.
The EMTs decided that this information accounted for most of the injuries, but what about the tire tracks?
When asked this the driver responded: "Well how else wuz I supposed to git the deer of 'im"
I don't know which is worse, a drunk moron trying wrestle a grown male deer as if it were a cow.
Or his friend who ran over the injured body to scare away the rightously angered party.
