I think the guy was nuts! Some here seem to think that a rutted or otherwise crazed up buck wouldn't be much of a threat to a healthy full grown man. I beg to differ. In a knock down drag out, my money is on the mature buck over most mature men. Just because Mt Lions make easy game of them is no reason to not be on your guard and certainly do not provoke a attack by trying to act aggressive.
In my prime i would not want to mess with a 225 pound Muley with a attitude.
Deer just like to edge in, right in close to town. Could be what they get to eat but in my local, i think they do it because they feel protected from our large Predator base. I myself care about some deer as much as i do about some people. I assume that there are people one can call to avoid fisticuffs with what might appear as a trespassing deer. I get a big buck up close looking sideways at me, i'm making a call.
