Deer loses head-butt with Wisconsin lawn ornament

A love-struck buck ran out of luck a week ago.

The seven-point buck was killed when it rammed a 640-pound concrete statue of an elk in the backyard of Mark and Carol Brye's home in rural Viroqua, Wis.

Bucks often fight during the breeding season, commonly called the rut. Dominant bucks defend breeding territories and female deer by sparring with subordinate bucks. Antler battles sometimes result in the death of one or both deer, but usually end with the biggest buck winning and the smaller buck high-tailing it out to another area.

Mark Brye, who owns Brye Plumbing in Viroqua, was still laughing about the suicidal buck he found near his elk statue last week.

I’m so glad to see you behind Sarah, 100%. It would ROCK to have the first female President be a Conservative.

Let’s make it so, just to annoy Hillary, LOL! :) (OK. To save America, etc., too!)

I love the expression on the dog’s face.

“I know I’m going to get blamed for this.”

Oh yeah! Sarah is the real deal. I'll be heading to Mall of America to get my book signed, in December, with some friends. We're leaving after work so it's going to be a long night.

I hope she can make a couple of stops in Wisconsin at some point.

Yeah, dogs have the best expressions, whether they’ve been good or bad.

I can almost hear they way his little brain was working,”Look at that dumb SOB just standing there waiting for me to take him out!”, thud!

The deer got a Deer John letter so he decided to venison himself off.
