Courtesy the La Crosse Tribune A seven-point buck lost a fight with a 640-pound concrete elk lawn ornament in the backyard of Mark and Carol Brye's home in Viroqua, Wis. last week.
The buck was apparently trying to defend its breeding territory by sparring with the lawn ornament. Mark Brye, 58, couldn’t help but laugh about the unusual incident, the La Crosse Tribune reports.
"Our son and daughter gave it to us for Christmas four years ago because we like to hunt elk," Brye told the Tribune. "The elk is a nice thing to see every morning. It looks pretty cool, especially on a foggy morning."
Brye said he knew exactly what happened when he saw the elk tipped over on its side, but wasn’t expecting to find the buck’s carcass lying about 20 yards away.
The deer shattered its skull.
Brye claimed the deer using a deer tag issued by a Vernon County conservation warden. The warden's tag note read: "lawn ornament fight — lost."
He took the deer to a butcher and now has a freezer full of venison.
