Woman suffers several puncture wounds and a crushed vertebra after buck attacks her.

A woman in Wyoming was recently hospitalized after a run-in with a mule deer buck. The buck was resting in the shade near their back door when it was suddenly awoken by the woman.

Here’s the video of the full encounter…

According to KSL 5, the couple was leaving their Evanston home when the attack occurred.

After the woman noticed the startled buck, she began to back away towards their back door. Meanwhile, one of their curious dogs made its way towards the buck, which sent the deer into a defensive mode.

After scaring the dog under the car, the buck turned his antlers towards the woman who was trying to scare the deer away. The buck was able to knock her onto her backside, crushing one of her vertebra, and goring her multiple times with his antlers.

At this point, her husband was able to come outside and get the deer off of her while also being gored once around his waistline.

A UPS driver that was nearby came to help out, as well as one of their neighbors.

The woman is currently in the hospital and will remain there until she’s moved to a rehab center where she can recover from the injuries.

After the incident, the buck remained close by and hung out in the shade of the couples front yard for several hours. A relative of theirs notified the Wyoming Fish and Game, and shortly after, a wildlife officer came by to put the animal down due to the dangerous attack.
