Via e-mail --   "Deer Fights Back" (Spring 2012 issue, "Tales of the Strange," page 6) is an entertaining story, but I'm surprised the author and his friends even put themselves in that position. You know what they say about wounded animals backed into a corner ... that's when they become most dangerous. Trying to straddle an injured deer while holding a hunting knife probably wasn't the best decision, and that hunter is lucky he didn't stab himself with his own knife. And then with hunters circled around the deer, it was only a matter of which one drew the "unlucky ping-pong ball" as to which direction the deer would choose to flee. This story could have had a far more tragic ending, instead of just a wounded animal and "manimal."
