Info from Licensor: I'm a hunter from Poland. This video captured rare driven hunt situation. A young red stag (red deer male) was going out of the drive. At the last moment, he saw me standing at the position. He decides that his best option is to attack me. So he did. Stag turns in my direction and hits my head with his antlers. I've didn't pass out but I was struggling to get up for 10 minutes with blood coming out from the left eye area. One of the antler spikes broke my skull in the eye socket area. Then it went slightly into the brain. After this event, I had to spend nearly one month in hospital with two surgeries. Just to clarify in Poland we have regulations about taking red stags. I didn't have a chance to properly judge this stag. So I decided not to shoot him. In 99.9 % of those kinds of situations, red deers choose to run away from a hunter. This one has a different idea which is very rare.
