Nothing runs (or tackles) like a Deer



Deer makes tackle in Ohio football game

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

Brandon Hiles says 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 says 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. says there were actually two bucks in the area gearing for a fight, and Brandon was attacked when he inadvertently got between them.

Doesn't it seem like there's more and more stories about animals invading neighborhoods? Its either a big coincidence or the animal revolution is just around the corner. Now, the animals seem to be studying our sporting events in an effort to better understand our weaknesses. This deer mastered football. If he can cover the deepball I'm willing to give him a Blackshirt.

P.S. - I would have been way to afraid to hit a buck with a stick. That 9-year-old has some stones on him.
