A 72-year-old hunter was injured Friday evening, Jan. 2, when he was attacked by the deer that he had wounded with an arrow.

The man was out bow hunting earlier with a crossbow on the Peebles Trail near Highway K in the town of Taycheedah. He wounded the doe with an arrow and went back out later to track the animal, Bonack said.

“Apparently the man was going through some thick brush and the deer leaped out and went after him,” Bonack said. “The doe struck him in the leg with her head.”
