A peculiar thing just happened in the Missouri woods - strange on many different levels. A hunter shared video of a deer that apparently doesn't understand how hunting works and got so close that the animal nearly tripped over him, but he scared it away in the most Missouri way possible.

I won't spoil this for you, but here's the short version of what you're about to witness. Missouri Public Hunter on YouTube shared a short video (literally) that shows a young deer meandering toward him.

The animal got real close, but...well, you'll have to watch his video so you'll understand what terrified this deer and made it bolt suddenly.

If I had a nickel for every time one of my Missouri uncles told me to pull his finger, I'd be a rich man. NOTE: make sure you're volume is up for this. You'll thank me later (maybe).

Immature? Yes. Vintage Missouri male behavior? ABSOLUTELY.
