Sometimes life just smacks you right in the goddamn face when you aren’t expecting it.
You can be getting out of your buddy Gerry’s truck after a nice time in the ol’ diner, about to head into your hotel for the night, and BOOM—a good-for-nothin’ deer just dummies you out of nowhere.

That’s exactly what happened to Cary McCook at the start of the April, outside of the Stork’s Nest Inn in Smithers, BC. McCook, a rapper and environmental management representative at the Kwadacha First Nation, was getting out of his buddy’s truck. At the same time a deer, which was being chased by a dog, noticed McCook was in his way and decided the best action, in this moment, would be bodying the living hell out of him.
“Holy F just got hit by a deer and ran over in front of my hotel!! Still see the deer fur on my arm,” he wrote on Facebook.
“I’m laughing my ass off, still can’t believe it,” reads a follow up. “I just keep watching myself get body checked by Bambi!”
After taking his lumps from the deer, McCook said that his shoulder was a little sore but mostly he was fine. The incident happened on April 1, which means that everyone he told thought he was pulling their leg. So, to remedy that, McCook did as any of us would and got the video from the hotel and put it online.
Once up, the video quickly went viral because, you know, it’s a video of a dude getting annihilated by a deer.
