An escaping deer turned the tables on this hunter when it tore an enormous flap of skin from his face because it collided with him while trying to flee .Vincent Saubion, 36, was struck within the face by a 150-kilogramme (330lb) deer during a forest in Lesperon, Landes, France, while he was hunting.
Saubion told local media: "The deer hit me within the face because it tried to hold on." He said that he was losing tons of blood from the injury, but despite the horrific wound, had bizarrely wanted to continue the hunting day with pals.
Saubion said: "It felt like i used to be drunk, but it actually took half my bully off ."
A fellow hunter told him that he should stop then called over a firefighter who was a part of the group to offer him care .
In the end, a helicopter had to fly to the forested region to airlift him to the Pellegrin Hospital in Bordeaux where he underwent emergency surgery, consistent with local reports.
It has been claimed that Saubion required around 50 stitches to his face. He explained: "I am grateful because there was more fear than actual harm. i have never broken anything and that i feel nearly as good as I are often ."
Despite the incident, which happened in January but which has only been made public now, Saubion has vowed to stay on hunting.
He said: "I am still crazy about hunting. i'm very involved within the community, and don't have anything but respect for the sport and therefore the owners who allow us to hunt on their grounds."
It is unclear whether the deer that injured him was shot or not.
In October, a hunter died after a deer he had just shot attacked him. Arkansas Game and Fish Commission officials said Thomas Alexander, 66, had shot a buck with a muzzleloader while he was out hunting near Yellville in Marion County, Arkansas.
He was found severely injured within the woods on 22 October 2019 with puncture wounds, and sadly later died.
Keith Stephens, the Chief of Communications with the agency, told KY3: "I've worked for the sport and Fish Commission for 20 years, and it's one among the stranger things that's happened."
Referring to the deer, Stephens continued: "I do not know how long he left it there, but he went up to see it to form sure it had been dead. And evidently it wasn't."
