He got a lot of bang for his buck — and not in a good way.
A tourist’s attempt to photograph a deer ended painfully after the critter rammed him and broke his ribs, as seen in a wince-worthy video blowing up online.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Gian Carlo Triacca, 42, told Caters News Service of the attack, which occurred while he and his wife, Erika, 40, were vacationing in Greece. The couple, who hail from Cancun, Mexico, had reportedly been entranced by a menagerie of beasts seen where they were on holiday.

That one should have been easily wrestled to the ground.
Grab its antlers and twist, then take your picture.
Must be deer season. Tagged a hunter?
The article says he recovered in a couple of days with ice and meds. He didn’t break ribs. Bruised? Probably. A broken rib is incapacitating and takes at least 6 weeks to heal.
lolol.
Was jogging through a county woodlands the other day. I was briefly chased by an 8 point buck. Its rut season, and I imagine he didn’t want anything that looked like competition on his territory.
Not sure if I should feel flattered, or not....
The price of narcissism.
Pretty sizable antlers for such a small deer.
Glad you got away…he could have sodomized you!
So who took the attack photo?
He’s lucky he wasn’t impaled by one of the spikes
looks more like moose antlers
His wife Erika took the photo.
Thanks. Wow. Well I guess there wasn’t much else she could do but I’d be afraid that antler would go through a lung.
Play stupid games, win broken ribs. He is lucky he wasn’t harmed further.
Deer are not little “Bambi’s” that pose for selfies. They see you as a threat and are willing and able to attack that threat.
He’s lucky it was a small deer and the antlers were not sharp.
The worst is their hooves that are as sharp as knives. I’ve battled quite a few over the years. Been kicked, gored, and slammed by them, but never lost the war.
I picked up a big roadkill doe many years ago when I saw it be hit by a truck. Managed to roll it into the hatchback of my little plymouth horizon I was driving. Ended up being knocked out and not dead, coming to later when I was driving on a busy highway. It was a laughable battle as I had placed a plastic grocery bag over the deer’s head and tied it to keep the blood coming from its nose from getting in the car!
Killed it with a tire iron!
So, not a selfie.
How does a professional writer not understand words?
Lol….. the world is full of idiots!
He should go to Yellowstone and pet the bison.
