Presuming the article isn't omitting any charges of violations of game laws, kudus to local law enforcement. Some might have questioned whether the deer was a "threat" once Mark Christianson was in his home, out of immediate danger. Had he not acted, we might have been reading about a rouge deer stomping a local 8 year old.
Yesterday I walked out of my house and came face to face with a large deer.I think the lack of food has made them more aggresive. Here in central Wisconsin alot of the fields are already plowed over and many water supplies are dried up. My bird baths are empty every morning.
