Deer kills man who kept it penned up
Buck was one of six deer that man kept on his N.Y. property Updated: 10:19 p.m. CT Nov 12, 2006
ELLENBURG, N.Y. - A deer being kept in a pen attacked and killed his owner Sunday, state police said.
The buck that killed Ronald Donah, 43, was among about a half dozen deer penned up on his property in Ellenburg, about 180 miles north of Albany, said state Trooper Joseph House.
Details of Donah’s injuries and what may have prompted the attack were not available Sunday.
Maureen Wren, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Environmental Conservation, said Donah had a license to keep the white tail deer on his property but did not know why he was doing so.
She said deer attacks, at least in the wild, are extremely rare.
Donah was taken to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh, where he died. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday

I'll tell you what caused the attack, keeping a wild animal penned up during their breeding season!

My boss has had a couple of run-in's with his older pet buck. 9-10 months out of the year, Simon is fine, but when the testosterone levels go up, he gets MEAN. Enough that my boss keeps a feed bucket with him anytime he's in the pen to fend him off. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
