Ceramic deer no match for the real thing
Associated Press
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.
When deer are in their fall rutting season, the desire to mate can make bucks more aggressive with other males and less cautious when pursuing does.
Wisconsin's nine-day gun deer season opens on Saturday.
I bet they're a bit heavy to carry around though:p
