Man Gored Trying to Free a Mule Deer Buck Tangled in Wire

A man was gored in the face by an antler on Monday, October 26, while he and another man tried to cut a young mule deer buck free from wire on private land near Walla Walla, Washington Fish and Wildlife said. He became caught in the wire as the buck struggled and was treated at a local hospital; officers later had to put the deer down because it was too badly entangled. The department's advice: do not try to free tangled or injured wildlife yourself. Call WDFW Police at 360-902-2936, email [email protected], or call 911, and keep pets away from deer, which can seriously injure people when threatened.
