Boy this can happen in the wink of an eye. The guy didn't stand a chance. Hormones are everything when it comes to animals and heat.

The buck stopped there.

We have an abundance of deer in Ohio. You can see their behavior change with the season. I know a man with a deer farm who got his leg gored by a deer, same situation, although this deer had been farm raised from infancy. Instincts are real.

Regardless of how cute and fuzzy they are when little, wild animals do not make good pets, especially large wild animals. You can’t domesticate a wild animal just because you catch it when it’s a baby. Neutering might help but down deep they are still wild. I’m sure there have been exceptions but it’s not worth the risk.

This also applies to all large animals, even domesticated animals, during breeding season. I had a 2,000 pound Beefmaster bull that was a pet but when the cows came in heat you’d better stay out of the pasture. Any other time we could ride him, brush him and do anything with him but during breeding season he was a terror.

I appraised a house in michigan on acreage. They had two deer penned up. I looked and the bucks antlers were sawed off. I ask why and the wife told me that the deer attacked her husband. So he called his brother they roped hog tied the deer and removed them. This was in October. So I believe it.

My wife said something similar the other day.

These stories remind us of the remarkable skill of our ancestors in successfully domesticating wild animals for food, skins and milk. The breeding and culling took centuries - we could still learn basic common sense from them.

Sadly, this guy leaves a daughter who will have nightmares for the rest of her life - just because he thought he knew more than the experts (who warned him several times).

What blows me away are the number of stories like this. We (humans) used to KILL these things with rocks, knifes, and our bare hands, now we are at their mercy. Crazy upside down world.

Condolences to the family.

“Pet” deer. You have to be kidding me. There is a reason they are called “wild” animals.

This is a European Red Stag very similar to our Elk. They raise them commercially in New Zealand for food but they cut their horns off.

As Col. Colt as my witness, I will never be rutted again...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I assume he got gored by the antlers, not...well, let’s just say it could have been worse:

As the doe came stumbling out of the woods she said, “That’s the last time I do that for two bucks.”
