Apparently, the deer who live in the vicinity of the town of Holland, Wisconsin are not the sharpest tools in the shed. One particularly dense (in the lack of intelligence sense) buck took it upon himself to attack another buck. Now while this is a frequent occurrence during mating season when the antlers the deer grows appear to sap all the brains out of their heads, but in this case it was even less bright than usual. Because the other deer was dense in the physical sense.
It was one of those ceramic lawn ornaments.
OOSTBURG, Wis. – A ceramic deer came out the loser when attacked by the real thing. Ruth Hesselink of the town of Holland reported that the deer replica in her yard was destroyed in the attack that happened Sunday about 6:45 p.m., according to Capt. Dave Adams of the Sheboygan County Sheriff's Department.
Hesselink told authorities a buck took on its ceramic counterpart.
A deputy who went to the scene found "obvious track marks" that supported Hesselink's account, Adams said Monday.
Among the damage, the head of the ceramic deer was knocked off.
Personally, I would never want one of these lawn ornaments, but not out of fear of dense deer going medieval on it. Rather, I have read numerous stories over the years of these statues drawing the occasional random bullet from dense hunters. Stick with gnomes, there's no open season on them. Although with all those annoying Tavelocity commercials, it may not be long before some people begin hunting them, too.
I can picture the look on the real deers face when the head of the fake deer came off.
“Gahhhhhh!” Looks around to see if anyone saw and then takes off.
