Hit by Deer While Playing Football?

There was an interesting story in the paper last night of a boy, 7, hit by a deer while playing football...

A 7-year-old Ohio boy playing a game of backyard football was tackled by a deer.

Brandon Hiles said he encountered the buck when the ball rolled into woods while he was playing with friends Saturday in Wintersville, about 125 miles east of Columbus. The boy said the buck ran at him and flipped him with its horns, leaving bruises and a gash.

His 9-year-old friend Wyatt Pugh beat the deer with a stick to make it go away.

Wintersville Police Officer Art Fowler Jr., said there were actually two bucks in the area gearing for a fight, and Brandon was attacked when he inadvertently got between them.

What a deer story!
