A man was injured on Friday evening in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin,
when he was attacked by the deer that he had wounded with an arrow.
The 72-year-old man was transported by ambulance to St. Agnes Hospital
in Fond du Lac, according to Fond du Lac Sheriff's Officer Jeff Bonack.
The ambulance call came in at around 7:30pm.
The man was out bow hunting earlier with a crossbow on the Peebles Trail in the town of Taycheedah. He wounded the doe with an arrow and went back out later to track the animal, Bonack said.
"Apparently the man was going through some thick brush and the deer leaped out and went after him," Bonack said. "The doe struck him in the leg with her head." Bonack said the 72-year-old had been out hunting with other family members. "I'm guessing the deer got away," Bonack said. The man's condition is unknown.
