Watch an Angry Stag Chase a London Man Up a Tree

A man in London learned the hard way never to get between two wild animals after an angry stag chased him around and around a tree until he was forced to climb to safety.

According to the Telegraph, the man was walking in a west London park when he got too close to the animal during mating season. In an encounter that was all caught on camera, the stag stalked him around the tree as the man attempted to out-outmaneuver it, prompting him to yell at one point, “I need some help here!”

The man finally climbed a wooden fence and hoisted himself into the branches to escape.

A woman who was in the park at the time heard the man’s cries for help and called the police once the man was safely up the tree, ITN reported.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

It would not have been funny, if the Stagg had caught him, since it is mating season.

It would have been a lot scarier without that fence around the tree.

  What does that have to do with this story? And, we are an ARMED society, in case you hadn’t noticed. Are you saying that you’d like to pay for enough police officers to have one within 55 seconds of you at all times?

  Banjarmon is spot on.
  
  A gun would have been a great tool as an option to solve that problem – better to have a gun and not need it, then to need it and not have it – that is a fact.
  
  Bottom Line” When you are crying to others for help because a stag is chasing you – then you should and will face rebuke.
  
  Good choice by the old man though to climb that tree…

  Next time read the story. It’s London and in case you missed the big news you can’t carry a gun there. I wouldn’t have needed a cop. I would have needed a truck to haul that carcass to the taxidermist. Because I carry all the time!

Love all the symbolic interpretations people are posting to this story thread!
Here’s another one:
The angry stag = angry American VOTERS…
Man chased up a tree = GUESS WHO…

Multiple Perfect Chances to shoot that Cow with Antler.

I really felt like grabbing my .270 and shoot it…but then I’d lose my monitor and window….and maybe get fined for poaching.

This was a red deer. A type of elk. Stag is a sex not a species. Its not doe pee. A female red deer is a hind. so it would be hind pee on daddy’s boots.

Find the three socialism clues within the story.

…waiting…

Oh never mind. I don’t want to wait any longer. I’ll give you the answer:

1) The encounter was “ALL CAUGHT ON CAMERA”.
Interpretation: NO ONE DID A BLANKETY-BLANK THING BUT VIDEO HIM.

2) “…the STAG stalked him around the tree as the man attempted to out-outmaneuver it, prompting HIM TO YELL AT ONE POINT “I NEED SOME HELP HERE”.
Interpretation: the STAG according to this socialist viewpoint prompted the man to yell for help.
WRONG. Your lazy pansy waist nincompoop wait-for-someone-else handout-taker fellow
socialists who DID NOT HELP YOU BUT FILMED YOU INSTEAD is why the man
had to cry out the obvious. If no socialists had been present and it were only the
man vs. the stag, he wouldn’t be crying out as there would have been no one there
to hear him. The STAG did not cause him to cry out. IDIOTS THAT DID NOTHING
prompted him to call out.

3) “A woman who was in the park at the time HEARD the man’s cries for help and called the police ONCE THE MAN WAS SAFELY UP THE TREE…”
Interpretation: Once he had ACTED ON HIS OWN BEHALF, all the socialists waiting for the
government to help him then CALLED THE GOVERNMENT to help him.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be prepared to fend for yourself, protect yourself and with that God-given right

I wonder if stag tastes more like venison or elk.?… mmmmmmm elk.

Its funny how, stripped of his technology the man resorted to the primal instinct of climbing up into a tree for safety. I guess you can look at that clip as being representative of socialism on the human spirit. Whereas any of us could see ourselves in that situation we’d be stocking a years worth of stag in the freezer; the modern nanny state socialist man, stripped of his hunter instinct and his means of self defense, runs up a tree like a chimp. The real funny thing is that animal knows it owns that man. And for the few of you who think we’d do the same as him, “we ” wouldn’t be stupid enough to put ourselves into that situation without the means to defend ourselves.

  Depends on what it eats. If it eats exclusively fm farmers’ fields it will not taste as “gamey.”

If this happened here in the U.S., the guy would probably be arrested for aggravating the deer.

  I had a good laugh, watching him mince about the tree like a ballerina. You don’t know what it’s like to have to deal with over educated British men with soft hands and their pinkies in the air at tea telling “The Yanks” what’s best for us.
  I always imagine when the Oxford London boys get home from work, they don cowboy outfits, look into a full length mirror, and cry.

  Well first off you need to get past the strict gun laws and then ya need to be granted permission to hunt on the land if you don’t own it and finally ya need a DSC (Deer Stalking Certificate) http://www.bds.org.uk/deer_stalking_certificate_level_1.html, or you may just hear some ole cow shouting, “OFFFFF WITH YOUR HEAD.” lol

  Dont believe the liberal hype. Our 2nd admendment is FIRMLY secure. But just in case our government forgets. We have hundreds of million guns in the hands of private citizens who are not afraid to fight for our rights.
  
  BTW. It was not that long ago when the Americans SAVED most of the Europe countries from speaking German. Dont blame us if you fell for the socialist agenda and the fact when you are attacked again. Your country will certainly beg the USA for help.

  I like how the person video taping did nothing to distract the Stag. Got to hand it to the old man – he did get up that tree.

  Your comment reminds me of this joke…
  
  A man walks outside to his car for work, when he notices a gorilla in his tree. He rushs to his phone book and finds the animal control number, calls and asks them to send over someone who’s a gorilla expert. When the man arrives, he is carrying a shotgun, a chihuahua and a pair of handcuffs.
  
  The man says,”What are all of those for?” The animal control officer says, ”I’ll climb up in the tree, knock the gorilla down, the dog will bite him in the nuts and you slap the handcuffs on his wrists.” The man asks,”What is the gun for?” The animal control officer responds, ”If I fall first… you shoot the dog!”’

Here in Missouri our “intellegent” conservation department imported about 100 ELK for the hunters and turned them loose. Never mind what damage an elk will do if hit by a car. Never mind the damage an elk will do to your crops if you are farming. They just wanted something more for the good ole boys to shoot at! This is another reason NOT to import elk!

  KATHYSTONE… there in Missouri your “intelligent” Alcohol and Tobacco Contro (ATC) allows the importation of alcoholic beverages for sale distribution. Never mind the damage a driver can do under it’s influence (2010 Alcohol Impaired Driving Fatalities (AIDF): 259). They just want to keep the drinking public pacified. I checked for Missouri traffic deaths caused by the reintroduction of Elk and didn’t find any to date. Perhaps you can provide a link to some data?
