Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 That happens so often over here that they rarely make the papers. About the only thing they do is show them on those home video shows when someone catches it on tape. Ah, as to why they attack? Well, they are territorial male animals and consider hunters to be invading their territory. After they are out of velvet the wise person stays the heck away from a buck! Doesn't take an Einstein to figure it out!
