My thoughts and condolences go out to his family.

Very sad. Not the first and wont be the last. While we dont know the situation, being on the same side of the fence with a stag especially at this time of the year is not a wise idea.

Absolutely correct. I farmed red deer for eighteen years and even though I used a thick plywood shield in the shed and pens I had many a close call. All up I recall six stags dead on the ground from being gored by another so a human wouldn’t stand a chance. My neighbour once took a tine in an arse cheek trying to jump over the deer fence in one of my paddocks.

Lucky ours have just buttons then... Have regularly has a go at tractor tyres when I go into Pdk to feed out....

Never trust a farmed stag especially if it was a pet. Spent15 yrs doing security and helping on Crater Lake Deer Farm. In the sheds the big arrogant bastards would strut in looking for you. Makes me wonder why and if he was in hard antler, danger to humans and other stock.

That's terrible. My thoughts go out to his family. It is too easy to underestimate the power of wildlife, and to forget that even farmed animals are dangerous.

an acquaintance back in the late 90's was badly squashed up against a bank by a cattle beast. He reckoned it was only the farm owner wailing on it with the alkathene pipe stopped him getting turned into mush. broken collarbone, at least cracked ribs but could've been broken, black eyes.
My old man had something similar happen to him 18mths ago. He ended up in hospital with much the same but a little worse. He is a hard old prick with a terrible temper so if he had to go to hospital it would've been serious.

He was a mate of a good friend of mine who used to work with him, RIP fella

thoughts go out to his family...there are three animals I dont trust..alsatians,jersey bulls and stags at this time of the year...

I'm with you on the Jersey bulls Mickey, complete bastards with short man syndrome.

That explains why some of the Alsatians we had in the South African Police were called bastards now and then. They never always just bite the bad guys. They were also called Spyker Bekke ( nail mouths). Great dogs.

Very sad for the chaps family,,
I worry at this time of the year for my own son on his deer farm...RIP.

Poor bastard, and his family, especially at the moment. Always wary of the buggers when I'm driving thru clients deer units, had one chase me around my truck a couple of times one. I had to climb in the passengers door in the end.

Mate of mine from Uni got killed by a bull, caught him off guard and got him up against the fence. Was a massive shock as he'd spent his whole life around bulls. I reckon bulls have that look in their eye, they know they can f**k you up if they really want to.
