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.

He was probably angry about Favre leaving.

This is how deer say “Hold muh beer...”

[Man50D]

I’m sure PETA will demand the statue be removed.

Donny Iris said it best - Love is like a rock.

[netmilsmom]

“Ahhhhhhh, a deer dinner has come to us!”

And people don’t believe God will provide!!!!!

[IrishPennant]

Deerwin Award material right there.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

See? All the fun & interesting stuff happens in Wisconsin!

[patton]

It would seem so. LOL!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Hi, Patton! :)

[Reaganesque]

Heeeeere’s yer sign!

[Lakeshark]

So you call ramming a 640 lb. statue fun? Not sure that's a good ad for your chamber of commerce.

Nor wearing cheese on your heads..........

:-)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

No, the fun part is watching a DEER do it; not doing it myself.

[Lakeshark]

Must have been a chocolate statue........

[Bushbacker1]

“Ahhhhhhh, a deer dinner has come to us!”

Yep! Dinner and not one bullet was wasted!

[Zeppo]

Psssst... This is the ideal strategy for neutralizing Michael Moore. Simply use an automatic trail camera to scope out his normal feeding area without spooking the 'game' (make sure that it has a really-wide wide-angle lens), then place a giant reinforced-concrete cheeseburger and a super-sized bucket of Kevlar-coated French fries in his path, and sit back and wait for the ensuing hilarity - the rest of the story is left as an exercise for the reader...

[MrB]

This guy needs some sort of sign...

[gov_bean_ counter]

Momma always warned me against getting in a rut.

[tnlibertarian]

Deerwin Award material right there.

LOL

[Bushbacker1]

Damn! Now there's going to be little baby statues running around everywhere!

To paraphrase Rudolph's song:

"All of the other moose and buffalo, used to laugh and call them names..."

[Haiku Guy]

Oh yeah! Who-woo-woo-wooo!

[Haiku Guy]

Hey you! Mr. B! It’s your turn to go clean the statue out on Route 518...

[MrB]

Ah come on, it's gotta rain some day!

There's a whole series of pics of this moose leading up to his "mounting"...
They're in this photobucket folder, in reverse order, unfortunately starting on page 2.

[Portnoy]

The Garden Gnome in my garden was chipped the other day. Now I know what happened. It must be Garden Gnome mating Season.

[Vendome]

Oh Deer.

Deer Gone,
......

Deerly Departed

Deer will be missed Deerly.

Guess he won’t be the Deeler at the Friday Night Poker game.

Deer Gonn it!

etc, etc,etc......

[Vendome]

Was he Bucking a trend?

Did the homeowner take one look and say “What the Buck!”

Better Buck next time.

Guess there is no way he going to Buck the rut he is now.

[techcor]

Was he Bucking a trend?

No. But the owner of the lawn ornament was able to sell it cheaply. It was under a buck.

[kanawa]

The buck stops here...

[PjhCPA]

Holy Crap...I know those people!

[Libloather]

Rut roh...

[ken5050]

I recall reading somewheres that during the rut the level of testosterone in bucks rises 1,000% over normal levels...(Trying to imagine myself in that predicatment..LOL)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“...(Trying to imagine myself in that predicatment..LOL)”

Um...let’s not go there, LOL!

[Vendome]

Maybe he should start a store:

Anything under a Buck. LOL

[Vendome]

Yeah? Whatever, Buck-O.

[Western Phil]

Looks like he killed the elk.

[thethirddegree]

According to witnesses, the deer yelled “Allah Akbar” as he made his fateful charge.

[Ezekiel]

He died doing what he loved ping.

[silverleaf]

But unlike “Buck Hussein”, let’s not jump to any conclusions

(post of the day BTW)

[tanuki]

That is going to make one interesting trophy.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[b4its2late]

PETA will be pissed.

[Slings and Arrows]

Apparently it's deer season in Darwinland.

[Slings and Arrows]

Linky not worky.

[Eaker]

Nothing needs to be said..........

[skinkinthegrass]

Ahhhh...thanks, for the post.

[Petruchio]

Did he keep the venison?

[rabidralph]

Not to be outdone in Minnesota: Deer found watching TV at home.

[thackney]

Nope, its a moose. Moose makes cattle look smart.

Or were you talking about: what happens at deer camp stays at deer camp?

[Slings and Arrows]

[WOBBLY BOB]

the story would indicate yes.
