I was dragging a deer downhill through some scrub oak about three years ago when I slipped, fell over the deer, or he slid under me, and I got poked in the upper thigh. Still occasionally gives me problems. Those antler tips are sharp and they are hard and that could be a deadly combination if things go south. I didn’t read the story. I do know a family who had a son hit an elk in a car. The antlers came through the window and took his life. I did glance at the story, easy to believe, not the norm but, could happen pretty easily.That is a freaky story, very low likelihood.
A few years ago a guy was dragging an elk out with his ATV. He flipped on a hill, fell off & was speared by an antler. As I recall he recovered from his injuries.
I wait a few minutes and reload during that time. Then always approach ready to shoot again.
