Story from many years ago: my grandfather was deer hunting, the other guy he was with shot a deer and it dropped. This guy was of the school of cutting the throat to bleed out the deer, so he sets his rifle down, gets out his knife, straddles back of deer. As he lifts the head the deer wakes and jumps up. Guy drops knife and wraps his arms around the deer's neck. As the deer starts to buck and run he's yelling "shoot! shoot!" at my grandfather, who is laughing way to hard to take that kind of shot. pretty sure deer got away. Should have poked it in the eye.
