The Hunting Accident

Posted 12.05.2006 by Anomalous Coward (690)
Last evening my cousin Frank called. Frank lives out in western New York, where it is currently deer season. After I got off the phone with him, I began thinking about my last deer hunt in the Empire State: three years ago, just after Thanksgiving. My better half and I arrived at Frank's house and stayed up until after midnight laughing, joking, and remembering. At four-thirty the next morning, the alarm went off, and I got up. Prior to retiring for the night, the notion of deer hunting held my attention rapt as the quest for the Holy Grail held the imagination of knights errant long ago. In the cold darkness of morning, though, it seemed like a piss-poor reason to drag my ass out of bed at such an ungodly hour.

We enjoyed a hearty breakfast, washed it down with copious amounts of coffee, donned our hunting attire, and stumbled out into the dark to get to our destination. Some fifteen minutes later I found myself in an overgrown orchard, atop a rise that fell away to a small stream downhill and rose again to a stand of evergreens and low brush above. A dilapidated stone wall surrounded the apple trees on three sides.

I found a more-or-less comfortable spot out of the wind and sat down with a tree at my back. For the first few minutes I was vigilant, scanning the crest of the ridge for movement; but then I started to get drowsy. The combination of lack of sleep, being on the wrong side of fifty, and a heavy breakfast began to take its toll. Soon I was in a semi-somnolent stupor.

A low guttural growl snapped me out of my slumber. Abruptly awake and fully alert as I ever get, I looked around, trying to identify the source of the sound. While there are bears in that neck of the woods, they aren't really that much of a concern. Coyotes and coydogs also are known to inhabit that area. I would just as soon not encounter a pack of them.

I shifted my shotgun slightly and listened: only the soft moan of the wind through the treetops. Then I heard the growl again with an awful certainty as to its source: my own midship region, accompanied by a wave of fierce cramping. After so many years of eating cream of wheat, toast, and OJ for breakfast, my gut was no longer accustomed to the heavy repast I'd downed that morning. Bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, and home fries all cooked in enough bacon grease to lubricate the wheels of mechanized industry for the next millennium had played havoc with my GI system. I was about to shit myself stupid.

Being the careful hunter I am, I put on the safety on my shotgun and propped it against the stone wall. I stood and dropped my outer hunting pants, my jeans, my long johns, and finally my undershorts to a pool of fabric reaching to my knees. I backed over away from my spot under the tree, squatted, and waited for the inevitable.

I didn't wait long. A long liquid burst of diarrhea spewed forth violently. And it kept spewing forth. I was certain that all internal components from the top of my head to my butt were emptying out my ass in an uncontrollable deluge.

Finally, when only a hollow shell was left, the shit quit spraying.

After many years of near misses, I have become accustomed to carrying a small packet of wipes for just such an emergency. I cleaned up, reached down to begin pulling up my drawers, and looked up right into the eye of an enormous buck. HOLY SHIT! This was the biggest whitetail I'd ever seen, and there I was with pants around my knees, gun out of reach, and balls freezing off. Damn.

I gingerly reached over toward the gun while shuffling my feet sideways. I had no more than closed my grip around the barrel when my foot slipped and I sat down hard, my bare ass landing in a steaming pile of my own shit.

That stupid-assed deer was laughing at me -- I swear, he was laughing at me! I'll teach that sonuvabitch! I opened up at him, emptying the shotgun. In the process, I slid down on my back into the pool of shitsauce below. Now I was REALLY pissed. And shit; but hey, what can you do?

I used the rest of the wipes to rearrange the liquishit on my back, butt, and family jewels. In disgust I removed my boots, peeled off the assortment of garments, and cast aside the undershorts that were terminally befouled in feces. I put the rest back on, grabbed my gun, and slunk down to the truck. I drove back to Frank's house (where, mercifully, no one was home), showered, threw my beshat clothing in the washer, and dressed. I was tired, my gut still hurt, my hunting clothes were in the washer, and I was feeling sorry for myself when Frank and his son Ernie came in.

"Where'd you git to?" he asked. I told him I was cold (partial truth) and came back home. He then proceeded to tell me about he and Ernie coming up to the old orchard and finding an enormous eleven-point buck lying dead just down over the ridge toward the creek. The odd thing was that nobody was around. They did find a huge pile of shit and some badly-stained boxers near a tree on the other side of the orchard, but no other sign of who had shot the buck. Frank told Ernie to tag the buck so that it didn't go to waste. They had it outside in the back of the truck.

What to do? Tell them the truth, get the deer, but hear about shitting myself for the rest of my days; or keep my dignity and lose the deer.

Hard call, but I don't want to be known in family lore as Uncle Anomalous who shit himself shooting a deer. Ernie got to keep the buck. He showed everyone HIS buck and basked in the attention while I silently seethed. I'll get the last laugh, however. I cut the little bastard out of my will. That'll fix him.

Thunderbox (813) -- 12.05.2006

Nice one AC - yet another disastrous day for you. You should have shot the buck as you shat, the jet of shit would have compensated for any recoil.

healthy 1 (1423) -- 12.05.2006

Great story Anomalous.

That figures, you have a great opportiuity to get a deer, and something has to screw it up in some way.

I am also a hunter, and can picture you slipping in your own poop, as the deer is watching you.

Next hunting trip, you'd better stick to Cream of Wheat.

Watch out for the deadly F4, though he's been gone since '53, he will be back.

Anomalous Coward (690) -- 12.05.2006

The worst part of the whole thing was that I didn't even go over and see if I'd hit the deer. I assumed I'd missed - he just turned and hauled ass over the ridge. Oh well, I got some steaks from him anyway. Guess that's almost as good as having the biggest friggin' rack I'd ever seen hangin' on my wall, right?

DungDaddy (1369) -- 12.05.2006

AC. I'm not familiar with hunting in the East. You mentioned your "shot gun." Do you shoot slugs? I'm guessing you use slugs because of the forest and the population: Cover makes all your shots short and you don't want to unleash a round of .30-06 that's going to fly half-way across the county and through ten farmyards?

Here in Nevada, where you seldom get a shot at less than 90 to 100 yards, its high-power all the way.

Good story.

Dude! You are me! or I am you. I also hunt in the southren tier of NY, and had almost the same experience, but missed the buck. Did get a doe later while not shitting.

At least you got a shower and washing machhine, I got a bare bones hunting camp with an outhouse. I'm still buying drinks so that the story doesn't spread any farther.

Great story, glad to hear about other hunters in the field.

Hillarious story although you probably didn't feel that way at the time. Could have been worse though. You might have neglected the safty and accidently shot your nuts off...

Q: Does a wild AC shit in the woods?
A: I don't know, but the bears (and the deer) seem to think so.

The Thunderous ... (660) -- 12.05.2006

was there a lot of farting involved? I know if it was me you would hear a volley of ass cannon shots.

C Everett Poop (628) -- 12.05.2006

I hope this is a true story but the "I saw a huge buck while I was taking a dump" routine has been around in hunting circles since the beginning of time. Probably because it really does happen from time to time. Good job.

PETApooper (not verified) -- 12.06.2006

It upsets me badly that you would shoot at a living creature in anger just because you shit and fell in it. It upsets me worse that you didn't even check to see if you had harmed it. Mostly I am upset because you male macho knuckle dragging murderers let a young man think he accomplished something of value in taking credit for killing an innocent deer. You amke me sick.

Crapatoa (8) -- 12.06.2006

Maybe the ass-cannon shots served as a decoy...

Nine Inch Log (345) -- 12.06.2006

I know animals use scent a lot more than humans do, so maybe your shit smells like attractive doe and he was coming to try and get it on.

Hey, PETApooper: It was a HUNTING trip. He was going to try to shoot the deer ANYWAY. The fact that he slipped and fell in his own shit IMPEDED his ability to shoot the deer. Duh.

Turdle Dove (85) -- 12.06.2006

Gotta side with PETA. What happens when men walk around or sit around outside with guns and call it a game (sport, whatever)? Someone gets shot in the face! Using lethal weapons on animals for fun is not very adult. Or smart, considering the high rate of hunting accidents (see above for ridiculous yet scary example). Because, really, they're devices made for killing things, and it's probably best to use them only in the most dire of circumstances.

The Big Wiper (2244) -- 12.07.2006

I have a different perspective on the hunting/anti-hunting issue. I grew up in a family where all the males were expected to hunt. I tried it and didn't like it, although I never actually killed anything.

However, legal hunting during specified seasons helps control overpopulation of certain species, many of which are no longer thinned out by natural predators.

That said, I now live on 3.26 acres next to a wooded pond where eight or nine deer roam freely every day. I watch them from my great room windows while I am eating my cereal in the morning and have discovered that I much prefer watching animals to killing them (or trying to.)

PETApooper (not verified) -- 12.07.2006

There is never an exceptable reason to kill another animal for food. There never has been and there never will be. I don't buy that garbage about controlling overpopulation. I'm sorry to whoever may be offended, but hunting IS murder.

Anomalous Coward (690) -- 12.07.2006

Dear PETApooper,
First off, "There is never an exceptable reason to kill another animal for food." It is much kinder to the animal to kill it before cooking it. Shame on you for thinking otherwise!
Secondly, I didn't shoot at the deer "in anger just because [I] shit and fell in it." There were other reasons involved as well. I planned to shoot it to cook it, (refer again to above.)
I grew up having next to nothing. I still have most of it left. Shooting a slug and getting a hundred pounds of meat in return is a fair bargain to me. Were I less economically challenged I might feel otherwise.
And lastly, being a card carrying "male macho knuckle dragging murderer", I have an image to uphold.
Anomalously yours,
A Coward

Great comment! +1 point
SamDamnit (1192) -- 12.08.2006

If you did not know whether you hit the deer or not, you did not know if you only wounded it or not. You should have gone to check on the deer. A real hunter does not allow the animal to suffer. It is your duty to put it out of it's misery. Even if you accidently killed it cleanly, it is irresponsible to leave the dead animal out in the woods. By doing so, you lose all moral standing. You just wasted it's life for no reason what so ever. You are lucky that those other guys found the deer.

The Thunderous ... (660) -- 12.08.2006

Personally I think the dookie did the deer in.

daphne (3514) -- 12.09.2006

Actually, in research done in the northeast, deer populations left to themselves culled their own populations without hunting in about 3 mating seasons. There was starvation in the areas where the hunting limits were cut cold turkey and lots of deer run over by cars. However, I'm sure that had the hunting limits been slowly reduced, the deer would have adapted without such death. And they've been doing it since the beginning of time, you know, breeding to their specific territorial area. To think that nature needs us to control populations of deer is sinfully egotistical. They overbreed and now have 2 fawn instead of 1 because we kill them. There are populations of animals that get out of control because we've taken so much of their habitat, but deer aren't one of them in many parts of this country.

And, not to bitch, really, but I don't like that you didn't check on the deer either. I know some hunters out here, and they all said you were wrong for that. That's their word, not mine. I don't know what it would have been like to walk around in my own poopie - and it must have sucked - so I'm not judging you. Besides, I'd rather eat hunted meat (if I ate it)than grocery store, slaughterhouse meat that came from abused and cruelly-slaughtered animals. Can't really argue with hunters as much as I'd argue with millionaire ranchers who don't give a shit about their cattle.

And one of the guys I talked to said he, too, has seen someone partially-poop in his rain poncho by accident a few years ago. This type of thing has been reported on the site more than once, I think.

Does this happen alot? Really?

Animals Taste Great (not verified) -- 12.11.2006

PETA pooper...no one can change the way you feel about hunting, nor can you change the opinions of others. Pick your battles. If you feel you want to 'enlighten' others on this subject, do refrain from using ad hominem remarks (i.e. "male macho knuckle-dragging murderer"); you'd be surprised at the difference in response.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 12.11.2006

I once shot at a deer while hunting, and believed that I had completely missed him. I even went over to where he was standing and saw no blood or hair. Later while walking down the hill back to my car I found the deer lying dead about 300 yds from where he was when I shot. No other gun fire was around that day, so I knew I had killed him. Its possible that the Anonalous Coward really thought he missed the deer completely. It is possible.

SamDamnit (1192) -- 12.12.2006

Well Anomylous, at least you tried.

I imagine this sort of thing DOES happen a lot. Think about it...lots of greasy, well-preserved food, usually lots of beer (well, around Wisconsin anyway), no facilities close by, and cold weather. It's an accident waiting to happen.

healthy 1 (1423) -- 12.14.2006

I am partially against PETA. I am an avid hunter and enjoy the sport very much.

I don't see anything wrong with hunting animals, as long as it is not just for fun.

Daphne, you hit the nail right on the head. Nature does need our help in controling animal populations. As for PETApooper. do you eat chops, ribs, and steaks? If so, how do you think those chops, ribs, and steaks went to market?

The only hunting that I am against, is hunting just for sport (IE just killing animals for the hell of it). I only hunt an animal if I know that none of it is going to go to waste, and the animal will not suffer in the process.

Once again, good story AC.

Turdle Dove (85) -- 12.15.2006

Hey healthy_1, just one question: Isn't death suffering, the ultimate suffering, even? It sure as fuck isn't enjoying and frolicking.

So it's wrong to hunt just because you like to kill other living beings, but it's not wrong to hunt because you like to kill other living beings AND you like to eat them? I'm pretty sure you're on weak moral grounds with that argument.

For the record, I'm a Buddhist and do not eat animals. Or humans. Mostly I just eat cereal.

Fart Poopie (1254) -- 12.16.2006

Turdle Dove, doesn't that make you a cereal killer?

Turdle Dove (85) -- 12.16.2006

Nice one! That was pretty good.

daphne (3514) -- 01.16.2007

healthy1, you might want to re-read my post. I'm against the God-stance that we're needed to control populations of many animals like deer. What animals whose populations do get out of whack is mostly our fault for squeezing them out of their environment.

This being said, US Fish and Game probably knows deer can control their own population but like the money that comes in from hunting and fishing licenses. After all, this is why the gaming commission most likely has so many "free" days for kids to fish. It's not philanthropy - it's guaranteeing the next generation of paycheck supporters.

I appreciate any hunter that takes it seriously and not to his or her ego.

Lame comment!
buckslayer (not verified) -- 01.25.2007

Great story!
PETApooper, what the hell is wrong with you? Man has been hunting since the dawn of time. I'll make a wild bet that maybe you're a vegetarian (no problem with that), but chances are that you own or have owned shoes made of leather, or a leather coat, or had leather seats in your car, etc. Where do you think those things came from? Do you also realize that driving your car, mowing your lawn, etc. is ruining the environment, and in turn, killing animals? Have you ever hit a deer or squirrel or rabbit with your car? I have no problem with you believing in animal rights, but when you infringe on other people's enjoyment in activities like hunting, you are stepping on our rights. Think before you open your mouth on these kinds of things.....I've been hunting since I was a kid, and now I guide professionally for a living, and you don't see hunters protesting against you in any way, except to save our sport. People like you, PETApooper, make me sick.

MousePoo (150) -- 07.12.2007

The only time being a shitty shot turned out to be a good thing. Better to claim passing poo then to pass the buck. I'd have claimed what was mine. I hope you got some venison steak out of the experience.

daphne (3514) -- 10.14.2007

buckslayer,
tell me what "sport" there is to someone with a scope, rifle, deer piss from Wal mart, and all the up to date crap you "sportsmen" use to trick deer. Until you use a bow and arrow, and nothing else, like the native americans did, it's not a sport.
