it sort of balances everything a bit.

1. The buck was either thinking the hunter was in his territory and/or

trying to take his mate.

3. It looked like a cross between mating aggression and dominance behavior to me.

Kind of like how you'd see a king stag treat a spike buck or something--not bothering to charge with antlers, but just rough him up a a bit and make him submit. I also saw moments that looked like a buck "riling up" a potentially receptive doe.

Makes me wonder if that hunter was stupid enough to spray himself with doe estrus scent before heading off into the woods on foot, rather than safely up in a tree stand.

5. Should someone tell him he didn't put enough of that scent on himself?

2. It might be a good idea for hunters to think about what they should do in certain situations.

In a situation like this a hunter should be thinking where to find a tree or rock or something to keep between a buck and himself.

On another note what was the guy shooting the video doing to help the hunter?

Could not tell if the hunter was bow-hunting or regular hunting. What happened to the guy's bow or rife?

13. His wife was filming. IIRC, the first time I saw it she was laughing at beginning. n/t

6. I love that video.

Do you suppose the deer slung him over a fender and hauled him home afterwards?

12. Couldn't agree with you more. Isn't it funny what the human mind is capable of justifying?

And then they choose to focus on Palin's supposed insensitivity while they pick out their gobblers this weekend!

I don't think I can stomach that video, although I am curious. Slaughtering is a bummer to me. I am kind of funny that way...
