Axis of evil.

Damn, that's sad.

Prayers for family and friends.

Very sad story, a beautiful family left without a father/husband. Thank God everyday for your existence.

Any bottled fed male animal is dangerous. Especially ones with horns or antlers. If I have to raise any I tell who ever I sell them to to be careful with them. Do not turn your back on them. Do not try to make pets out of them. Get them harvested as soon as possible. They will hurt you.

In our prayers.

Very sad indeed.

Very sad.....prayers to their families

Sad deal. Prayers for the family. Sounds like he was a very good man.

My grandparents had an orphaned WT buck they bottle fed up and had for a few years. He hung on the wall of their cabin, turned on my Gpa once when he got to be a few years old. Once was enough.

wild or domestic, the tame bull that you can pet is just as dangerous as any, turn your back while feeding and you can get run over, prayers for the family

Prayer for the family.

Amen. Prayers up for this family.

That's terrible. Prayers up.

How many stories are there every year about people being severely injured and/or killed by 'tame or pet' wildlife?

Wow. How sad.

Bowie is north of Rhome about 40 miles.

We've had several Rambouillet rams that if you were holding a feed bucket you didn't dare turn your back on. I've been hit once, and my dad really badly one time. Can only imagine if they had antlers.

Prayers for the family, what a sad deal.

Sad story.
We get people who like to feed Black Bears and get attached to them like they were their pets.
One lady near our home was well known for hand feeding bears. She had sows with cubs as well as some good sized boars visiting her place like clock work to get free handouts. Over the years she even had a few den under her cabin during their winter hibernation.

Such sad news.
Prayers for the family.

Prayers for the individual and his family. Sad event

I'm fairly certain he was a member on THF, I can't remember his handle but I think I sold him a Zeiss scope several years ago.

Very sad deal, prayers to the Talley family. Don is spot on about bottle fed animals (even domesticated ones such as sheep).

All my prayers to the family, so very sorry for your loss

they wont have far to go to get a meal

Sorry to hear about this. I have a friend that raises whitetails and one of his younger bucks attacked him. The buck became aggressive, and cornered him in the pen, then stuck him in his gut and got him on the ground. Fortunately, nothing vital was damaged and he was able to get out and to the hospital on his own. He didn't blame the deer for the attack, but did sell him to a ranch soon afterwards.

I, personally, carry a pistol every time I'm around close to animals. I'd much rather shoot an animal than be attacked.

Very sad case here. Beautiful family, I feel terrible for them.

Prayers sent for this hurting family.
