Sometimes you are better off leaving things to nature if you aren't equipped to do the job.
This is what happens when folks that don't know what they are doing try to do good.

Damn!!! Wonder where all it got him?? And double damn...looks like 125-150 pound cotton..at most. And that's generous. Maybe 100 pound.

Damn…that was intense.
I don't know but that one buck was still rank to say the least. The bad thing is if he got some puncture wounds in his chest it could get serious quick.
30 or so years ago I wouldn't think twice about being right in the middle of something like that. The bad thing until the last few years my brain hadn't updated and told me what my body already knew. Luckily it has now and I have enough sense to stay far away from crap like that.

Just shoot the deer that is still alive and fill both tags at once!! But that's just me and my simplistic way of thinking........

Lasso the back legs, pull tight, loop rope around deers neck and loop back through back legs, pull tight again, throw shirt over deer's so he can't see then saw through rack, cut rope off of back legs and run.
I stayed at a Motel 6 once.

Maybe the buck wouldn't be so wound up if bats were not flying all over the place.
Mule deer, most states where they are only allows one buck per season has been my experience.

I am shocked that repeating the word hey didn't calm the buck down 
someone should "sentence" you to a "deer species identification course" before you get your license renewed,,,,,,,,,,
As a mountain born n bred boy, what does 100 lb cotton mean?? 
There was wildlife in that video? I though 4 guys were fighting over a hooker. I might need a new phone with a bigger screen.
I surmise he is talking about the old 100# bale per acre yield which is poor as heck.As a mountain born n bred boy, what does 100 lb cotton mean??
My first job was picking cotton along side a 70+ year old woman. She could pick a little better than 100# a day and it would be as clean as could be. I was 10 at the time and did my best to out pick her and mine was no where near as clean and 70# was the best I could do.

Around here that would be a disastrous crop failure. 100 pounds of cotton per acre. That may be west Texas?? Not sure.

So you hand picked. Dang. A little young for that. I remember some women picking. Dad said he let them cause they needed extra money.

Yes, and people can say what they want I'll take cotton over tobacco any day.

Agree. That may have went a little better if the other two were not terrified of the deer and they actually had a better plan. With a little patience they could have gotten those hind legs out from under that deer with some rope. I have wrestled with a 150 buck that had lost the use of his rear legs and a half a deer is strong enough to drag itself and a 150 lb dude through the woods with no signs of ever getting tired. I believe my brain was smaller back then

Since I don't hunt deer but twice a year I feel my identification skills are adequate, thank you.....
To heck with all that. Ease up on him with a full choke and buckshot and shoot the horns free.

I picked cotton as a kid.
Several tons a day.
I was never around tobacco farming except seeing someone else with the occasional crop in NC. Although there’s a chance someone had a hobby crop in MS, I believe I’d never seen it in the field until I was in my 20s. I can say I’m glad I missed out on that.

WHAT. You never picked up a rock or 3 and put it in the pick sack I did that once picking at my grand pa’s. Got my tail blistered for that at the scales
It is unfortunate, but a bullet would have most likely been a better approach. Kudos for the effort but a lot of risk for a marginal gain. Especially since that buck had a high likelihood of dying later anyway due to capture myopathy. It is an often fatal, exertion- or stress-induced muscle degenerative condition affecting captured wild animals, especially deer.
