“Apparently the man was going through some thick brush and the deer leaped out and went after him,” Fond du Lac Sheriff’s Officer Jeff Bonack told The Reporter. “The doe struck him in the leg with her head.”

The man was reportedly out hunting with other family members at the time of the attack.

The hunter was taken to hospital with unknown injuries.

As for the deer… “I’m guessing the deer got away,” Bonack said.
