Deer violently attacks farmer

A deer farmer in New Brunswick has been killed by one of his own deer. Police discovered the man’s body in an enclosed field on his property in Saint-Leonard.

The 55 year-old man was found with multiple antler wounds. An RCMP Sergeant says the deer might have attacked the man because of mating season.

Marc Violette says male deer are competing for female deer at this time of year. And the male deer detected the owner as being a threat.

The victim's wife called police after he went out to feed the deer and never returned.
