The Lets Read Podcast · 363: WE ENCOUNTERED AN UNDEAD DEER | 10 TERRIFYING True Scary Stories / Rain Ambience | EP 348 · 8 Sep 2026 podcast

It was frustrating not getting our hands on its body so we could further analyze it and potentially figure out how it appeared to come back to life all aggressive like that.

A lot of figuring out what's going on with flora or fauna ends up in a lab, so no samples meant no answers.

But the most important thing was that our wounded hunter was airlifted to a hospital where the doctors managed to save his life.

Now, some said it was nothing short of a miracle considering the damage that buck's antlers had done.

But if you notice, folks never seem to question the miracles.

It's always the mysteries that keep them up at night.

And the mystery in this case was how in the world that buck had jumped to its feet after two experienced hunters were so sure that it was dead.

Now, after we talked with the wounded hunter and his partner, I was one of the wildlife officers dispatched to the scene.

It was eerie as all heck out there, just knowing that we were in a place where something like that had happened.

But since the buck in question was already shot, we figured it'd only be a matter of time before we found it laid out somewhere, dead as a doornail.

But we searched for hours, up and down in every direction, and we didn't find so much as a pile of poop.

And that didn't make a lick of sense.

Now, our wounded hunter said that his aim was good, and he put a bullet through both that buck's lungs.

But if that was the case, we should have found it dead within less than a mile of the incident site.

By the end of our search, me and the other wildlife officers had ourselves a really bad case of the willies, wondering how in the world the supposedly dead buck had the strength to inflict such damage to our hunter and then ran off without keeling over after only a couple of steps.

One of the tasks that we were issued after the fact was to figure out how we could incorporate lessons into our hunter education programs and habitat management strategies to hopefully help prevent similar tragedies.

but when it came to it, I had no idea what in the hell I was going to write.

The hunters did exactly what we asked in terms of giving their prey a wide berth after their kill.

So apart from something akin to try not to shoot one of them, their zombie deers, there was nothing much I could say in terms of safety or prevention.

All we were left with were a series of unanswered questions, and pretty damn creepy ones at that.
