Seven deer -- including six huddled in a circle -- were found apparently killed by lightning in a southern Wisconsin farm field, neighbors and authorities said Tuesday.
The deer were likely killed Sunday night, said neighbor Randy Lantz, 54.
“It’s bizarre,” Lantz said.
After neighbors found the deer Monday and called authorities, a Kenosha County Sheriff's deputy on Tuesday went out to the rural field located near Salem, Wis., about 5 miles from the Illinois border, and found the six dead deer lying in a circle with another one a distance away.
In the center of the group of six there was a hole about 5 inches deep and 5 inches across, said Sgt. Bill Beth of the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department.

How sad. I’m surprised no one was processing the meat at the farm.

You definitely don’t want to be the tallest object in an open field during a thunder storm.

—occasionally happened to a herd of milk cows back in the days when 25 or 30 on a small farm was common-—disaster for the farmer—

We used to get cheese from the Kaukauna Club store in Salem. My brother lived there for a while. I was thinking “what storm,” but remembered that I moved 20 years ago. My niece lives in Twin Lakes, one town over.
I remember my father butchering a road kill deer. He watched a car hit it. Never know how long its been lying there otherwise.
