Had the same thing happen to an Uncle of mine. Ex-Army sniper. He shot the buck and hit it in the antler. Stunned the deer but dropped it in it's tracks. He foolishly unloaded the rifle and put it away and went to clean the animal. When he got there and started the buck jumped up. My Uncle jumped on the buck's back and grabbed hold of the antlers. Rode that buck for about 200 yards, stabbing it in the neck with his knife. Deer finally sucumbed. Guess his heart just couldn't take the strain. Must have been high strung. That was the LAST time any of us lowered our rifles. If it moved it got another round.
