I seem to recall...
.... from some autumn safety standdowns...
that deer lead pretty much all animals in the US except dogs, when it comes to killing humans.
Not sure if those stats include vehicular accidents.
Definitely not the first time I've heard of a hunter getting gored or kicked by a deer, though; most of the reports I've read involved a hunter following a blood trail and being surprised by the still-alive deer.
Can't blame the deer; I'd do the same thing, in its hooves...
