See, I find fault with this story.... any self-respecting ahem, redneck sitting around in his boxers while watching UFC and eating KFC would have some sort of shootin' iron within reach. Or a least an old golf club or something. See, in S GA this story wouldn't have even made the papers.

I can't wait for PETA to get a hold of this.

This is why intelligent tool using people carry knives. This guy claims to have euthanized a gunshot animal, but beating something to death with a stick sounds like maximizing suffering rather than alleviating it.
Hitting a critter in the head with a heavy stick works for rabbit sized critters, but is unlikely to function adequately for something the size of a deer. They used to use a sledgehammer for beeves and pigs, but you'd have to swing hard and not miss!
Flailing away at a dying deer in your undies is not something to be proud of, even if the Youtube Video would be astounding. My gods when did people stop carrying knives?

why would he do that? this makes no sense

as jeff foxworthy might say "you might be a redneck if you've ever deer hunted with a stick."

If i had to dispatch a severely wounded animal, id probably get something more humane than a stick...

This is absolutely inhumane. This guy is obviously
looking for attention. I agree with all posts above
that he could have used any number of ways to put this
animal out of its misery that would have been quicker
and less painful to the animal. I think its admirable that he reads Field and Stream, and sees all of the
trophy deer that have be harvested properly, but
his article is strictly looking for attention! What a
hero!! I hope his bringing this attention to himself
opens the door for a citation for cruelty to animals as
well as INDECENT exposure!

crzy rambo guy going insane so he beats it to death

They forgot about the part where joel Borden ran back into his cave for his beating stick! What a jack@$s!! If I were his friend, I'd use that stick to beat some sense into his hollow skull.

I'm surprised the buck didn't easily dispatch this guy.

I have to applaud Bella re "When did people stop carrying knives?" When I change pants, the first thing that gets transferred is my pocket knife, then keys, wallet, etc. I've carried a pocket knife for over 55 years now, and it really makes me feel uncomfortable when I have to put in in my checked lugge when I fly. With even a one inch blade, it would have been easy to finish off the wounded deer. All that being said, I'd also like to point out that I don't lie around in my underwear, so having the knife wouldn't be a problem. That guy was obviously the result of activity in the extremely shallow end of the gene pool.

Good knives Moishe. On my person at this instant is a CKRT M-16-10kz (because I misplaced my Estwing) and a Leatherman Wave. Because I can't get my nails long enough or sharp enough to open feed sacks and cut hay binding twine.
As far as hanging about in ones underwear, I am certain for a fact that most readers would rather see me hanging out in my undies than persons of other gender persuations, But bike shorts and sports bra is as far as I'd be willing to go. It gets hard to find places to hide the knives...

Why would he beat it in the head with a stick instead of cutting its throat right away wouldn't that cause less pain? He also has to have a knife somewhere I mean a butter knife would have been better than a stick.

You know our kids learn from us as adults, what we do,
what we say, and how we conduct ourselves. Recent articles prove this to be true. Hope there were no
children observing this behavior...

Who dreamed up this tale? Cut his throat with a stick? I live and hunt in Georgia but I have never seen anyone cut a deer's throat with a stick.

What a dumbass redneck f***, I'm country as hell but this is ridiculus.

Ok I have heard of a lot of stupid things in my lifetime and I think I have found my new number one pick! I live in good ol GA and I am here to tell you guys that this guy has got some serious issues! The real GA men that I know would have had a gun nearby and would have put the poor thing out of its misery and cutting its throat would have been the last resort. This guy is just a sicko and must have small man sydrome if he thinks beating a wounded animal to death makes him a man. I don't think this prick is a true Georgian if he didn't have a gun in his home. He must not be a hunter at all or he would have wanted to kill this poor animal humanely not making it suffer even more before finally passing.

Cindy I agree with you on the despicable, way this man killed the deer, but to be charged with indecent exposure, it generally applies to actual NUDITY, not underwear unless it's transparent. Sad but true.

Fortunately Moishe, My training in Aikido has drilled into me the technique to relieve an aggressor of his pointy object (just like in Krav Maga). I haven't lead a sheltered life, I been cut in one altercation and I have pulled a blade myself once (when it was 2 to me and I was cornered)- It worked too- the bad guys backed off long enough for me to call in reinforcements. Nobody got sliced, stuck, skewered or otherwise that time. I have also had the disturbing experience of responding (back when I lived in the city) when some dude (whose name I still cannot recall) got cut up real bad by some other dude and came and knocked on our door for help before collapsing in the street.. I called 911 and I was glad when the EMTs showed up because we didn't have enough bandages in our 1st aid kit to deal with the 6 deep stab wounds this poor guy had received. Took hours to scrub the blood off the stoop. One of the reasons we moved back to the country! Peace! Shalom!

doesnt sound like a real hunter..more like a killer or a retard...surely he has a knife...instead of beating it like an idiot he could have put it out of its missery

Up here, this would be an illegal killing...even if carried out with a gun (though in a rural area I can not imagine a Warden would cite someone who euthanized a mortally wounded animal). The procedure is to call a warden, sheriff, or police officer and ask advice. But there is another side: deer die every day from a variety of causes. This one was moving, obviously, on a saturday morning. was the season on? was a legal hunter in pursuit? would it have been better to let coyotes or other predators take advantage? Too many unanswered questions. My opinion? I'm glad he has a stick...since he sounds like a man who should never be allowed to own a firearm...

wtf is he stupid a good sportsman would have something more humane to use than a stick. a stick....really...i mean come on wtf
