A massive 330-pound (approx. 150-kilogram) deer charged and struck a hunter in the head in southwestern France in a close encounter with wildlife in January. The Frenchman, 36-year-old Vincent Saubion, was stalking the deer with a group of friends during a hunting expedition when the incident unfolded.

Although the hunter survived, he sustained horrific facial injuries that ended his hunting trip prematurely and sent him to the emergency operating room.
