A 63-year-old woman was gored by a buck mule deer near Florissant on Mon., Oct. 12. Joan Nutt was at the home of her sister at 893 Co. Rd. 31, around 5 p.m. when the attack occurred.

Nutt’s sister’s family was familiar with the deer and said it was a frequent visitor to their property. Nutt apparently called the deer, in an attempt to pet it. The deer got close, lowered its head, and charged the woman.

A motorist on CR 31 spotted the deer stomping her and stopped to assist. The passerby was able to scare the deer off and contact the Teller County Sheriff’s Office.

When medical services arrived, they reported the buck continued to come back to the area while they were tending to the woman. “We had to constantly harass it away from us,” one of them said.

Nutt was transported to the Pikes Peak Regional Medical Center in Woodland Park where she was treated for lacerations caused by the deer’s antlers and hooves. Most injuries were to her elbow and lower arm, but she also had cuts and bruises on her hands, upper leg, stomach, and hip.

It seems even today’s innocent little kids can’t get away from that rogue whitetail buck that’s boiling over with increasing testosterone levels in anticipation for the upcoming rutting season. Hell hath no fury like a rutting buck. Just ask Brandon Hiles of Ohio and he’ll attest for the brutality of a buck on the rampage!

Brandon, who is a mere 7 years old, found himself literally on the business end of a whitetail buck recently while playing ball with his 9 year old friend Wyatt Pugh. As the ball rolled into the woods little Brandon went to retrieve it and found himself face to face with a buck. The buck ran at Brandon and flipped him using it’s antlers resulting in bruises and gashes to Brandon’s body. His friend Wyatt took action hitting the deer with a stick to try and make it go away.

An investigation by local police from Wintersville concluded that there were actually two bucks in the area and that Brandon most likely became the victim when he inadvertently got in between the two combatants.
