Two things: first, look at that picture, and second, process this sentence about a five-year-old boy, "The antler went through his face and into his brain."
Connor Schick was on a camping trip with his family in Utah when he found some deer antlers. He tripped and fell as he ran to show his parents, and the antler punctured his face near his left eye and went all the way into his brain. I mean, look at that picture. The antler was so freaking huge, it totally comes out the the X-ray even.
After Connor fell on the antler, he sat up and pulled it out himself. I'm telling you, these people from Utah are tough. Remember Aron Ralston, the climber who cut off his arm with a pocketknife after it was trapped under a boulder? Yep, Utah. And apparently for little badass Connor, getting punctured by a deer antler is merely a flesh wound. Doctors decided he didn't need surgery, instead treating the injury with large doses of antibiotics until it healed on its own. "Get me out of here, Mom," he said as he left the hospital. "I saw a bear out there I want to strangle."
So you hear that, deer? You got nothing. No-thing. We'll take you in Utah, we'll take you in Colorado, we'll even take you here in Illinois. My brain, your antlers, going down.
Just watch the eyes.
