(CNN) An experienced Arkansas hunter was found severely injured in the woods Tuesday night, his body riddled with antler puncture wounds. The 66-year-old man from Yellville had shot a deer, and made plans with his nephew to field dress the deer's body together, police told CNN. When his nephew found him, the hunter was alert and talking, and was even able to call his wife. But he stopped breathing by the time paramedics could get him to the hospital, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said. Injuries resulting from wounded deer are not uncommon, said Joe Dale Purdom from the Game and Fish Commission.
