Summary:  [Bobby Neames], a veteran hunter who also hunts near Brookhaven, Miss., told Bayou Bucks that when he arrived at his deer stand overlooking a shooting lane, he saw a large buck standing near the end that he had captured images of on his trail cameras. Neames then set up for the shot and sent a bullet downrange, striking the deer in the neck. The deer ran into the woods, and Neames said he heard it crash shortly after. With an antler lodged in Neames' thigh, the buck tossed him to the ground about 8 feet away. "I knew I was in trouble then," Neames said. "Before I could even get to my feet, he was down on me attacking me again. "I got to worrying then, thinking maybe the gun was going to go off," Neames said. "The deer ain't going to kill me, but the gun's going to go off and kill me."
