BENTONVILLE, Ark. - It looked like a crime scene, but no charges will be filed after Wayne Goldsberry killed a buck with his bare hands in his daughter's bedroom.
The engagement lasted an exhausting 40 minutes, but Goldsberry finally subdued the five-point whitetail deer that crashed through a bedroom window at his daughter's home Friday. When it was over, blood splattered the walls and the deer lay on the bedroom floor, its neck broken.
Goldsberry was at his daughter's home when he heard glass breaking. He went back to check on the noise and found the deer.
"I was standing about like this peeking around the corner when the deer came out of the bedroom," said Goldsberry, demonstrating while peering around his kitchen wall. The deer ran down the hall and into the master bedroom — "jumping back and forth across the bed."
"I could tell he was really tearing up the place back there," Goldsberry said.
Goldsberry entered the bedroom to confront the deer and, after a brief struggle, emerged to tell his wife to call police. After returning to the bedroom, the fight continued. Goldsberry finally was able to grip the animal and twist its neck, killing it.
"He was trying to get up a corner wall and I just came in behind him and grabbed him by the horns and just started pushing down," said Goldsberry.
Goldsberry, sore from the struggle, dragged the dead animal out of the house.
"He got kicked several times. He was walking bowlegged for awhile," Deputy Doug Gay said.
Benton County Sheriff Keith Ferguson said that when he arrived he found the deer dead in the front yard. Goldsberry intended to have the deer processed for its meat.
Gay said that, this time of year, bucks that see their reflection in windows often charge them, believing the mirror image to be a rival.
On Monday in Pine Bluff, the principal of Coleman Elementary School rid his building of a deer by opening a door. Students were preparing for dismissal Monday when a deer crashed through a window and bounded through a hallway.
The buck floundered on the school's slick floor for about three minutes exiting via a door along the side of a hallway. Principal Bill Tietz said the deer was slightly injured from the glass and lost an antler. Tietz says the animal leapt a six-foot fence after leaving the school.
Did the deer have a little doe?
Yeah, two bucks.
(hat tip: the three stooges)
A guy's gotta get a decent night's rest, doncha know.
Imagine the deep reverence this guy will have the next time he walks into his corner bar, he just made it into the equivalent of the red neck hall of fame.
The last time Buck came over to my house I was able to talk him into....
He called the cops but he still had to spend 40 minutes trying to kill this animal? "Great, cops are eating donuts again so I have to kill this thing with my bare hands."
He was lucky it wasn't the other way around.
Ping.
I think "The Bride" in the film "Kill Bill" did the same thing!
"Mah name is Buck an' ah lahk to ...!"
I think I'll get my deer the normal way, with a spot light and , umm, never mind.
The ultimate addition of insult to injury.
A friend of my my father-in-law's met his daughter's fiance for the first time about a week before they were to be married (she lives out of town). Before they left, the friend took a bullet and threw it to the fiance and said, "don't do anything to hurt my daughter, because if you do, this will be coming at you a lot faster, and I won't be throwing it".
LOL. Truly classic thread.
Shhhhh! Maybe a Game Warden is lurkin'.
That's just wrong.
"B L E E A A A G G H H !"
He's one damned lucky guy. A deer kick is nothing to laugh at. Those hooves are sharp and a kick can easily be fatal.
My dad always said, "If you can't shoot a buck while standing on the back porch in your underwear, you're livin' too close to the city."
I hope he tagged it. It should be fine eating.
