What goes around comes around, that’s exactly what happened on Tuesday, when a man was attacked by a deer, which he had hunted and believed it was dead. 

The 66-year-old, Arkansas man—Thomas Alexander—was out hunting near Yellville in Marion County, according to Ladbible.

He shot the buck with a muzzleloader. 

After a while, the man’s nephew found him lying severely injured in the woods with his body riddled with antler-punctured wounds. 

Keith Stephens, the Chief of Communications of the agency told KY3: “I've worked for the Game and Fish Commission for 20 years, and it's one of the strangest things that happened." 

Stephen added that apparently Thomas had gone to check the buck, whether it was dead or alive and that could have been when the buck attacked him back. 

Another official from the agency told CNN, that a good hunting practice is to wait for 15 to 30 minutes before approaching a shot deer to make sure it is dead. 

Later, it was reported that when his nephew reached him, he was alert and was also able to talk to his wife. However, he ceased breathing by the time the paramedics could get him to the hospital. However, they confirmed that no autopsy will be done in this regard.
