Deer Loses Head-Butt Battle with Wisconsin Lawn Ornament

A seven-point buck lost a fight with a 640-pound concrete elk lawn ornament in the backyard of Mark and Carol Brye's home in Viroqua , Wis. last week.
- The buck was apparently sparring with the lawn ornament. Mark Brye, 58, couldnt help but laugh about the unusual incident, the La Crosse Tribune reports.
- "Our son and daughter gave it to us for Christmas four years ago because we like to hunt elk," Brye told the Tribune. "The elk is a nice thing to see every morning. It looks pretty cool, especially on a foggy morning."
- Brye said he knew exactly what happened when he saw the elk tipped over on its side, but wasn’t expecting to find the bucks carcass lying about 20 yards away.
- The deer shattered its skull. Brye claimed the deer using a deer tag issued by a Vernon County conservation warden. The warden's tag note read: "lawn ornament fight & lost."
- He took the deer to a butcher and now has a freezer full of venison.

That's funny and kind of sad.
I remember a pic of a buck mating with one of those elk statues.

See, even in the animal world, there's always a hard-headed b!tch just waitin' around to take the wind out of some dumb-ass's sails...

Horny dude ... What can we say that some woman has already said :'(

To date myself, he had high hopes. He should have stuck with the rubber tree though. ;D

And THANK YOU to the warden for actually handing out a salvage tag. Many won't anymore. A lot of meat to not waste.

What do you think the Warden eats all winter?
