Go rent the "When Animals Attack" series of videos. Watch them over and over and over...if you don't get so sick animals that you actually WANT to kill them, at least you'll know that they ARE out to get you!
That's why we hunt deer from tree stands
they are out to get us! You have to shoot them just so you can climb down and make it to your vehicle.
Even then, they will dive in front of your truck and try to make you get out to see if they survived the crash. DON'T DO IT! It's a trick!
NEVER hunt deer with anything less than .458 magnum.
And if you think deer are bad, what about QUAIL? They go right for the eyes! Sometimes they try to trick the dogs into running after them and crossing major roadways.
THEY ARE EVIL! A 10 guage loaded with no. 3 buck should take care of them.
I can't even talk about squirrels - I would have nightmares for weeks! It's enough to say that my trusty 7mm magnum squirrel gun is always ready!
Good luck - it's a jungle out there...
