Bowhunter Killed By Elk!

Oregon state authorities said a bowhunter was killed when an elk he had wounded charged at him and gored him in the neck with its antlers.

Oregon State Police say a 66-year old man was archery hunting on private property when he wounded a bull elk, but wasn't able to find it before dark.

The following day the archer and the landowner searched for the bull and wounded it again with a bow when they found it. However, it charged the archer and gored him in the neck with its antlers.

The landowner tried to help but the archer succumbed to his injuries. The elk was killed and the meat was donated.
