[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 447197, member: 1604"] Georgia Man Gored to Death by Deer Monday, October 08, 2007 Foxnews BALL GROUND, Ga. — A man has been found dead at his home in Ball Ground after apparently being attacked by a deer. The body of 66-year-old John Henry Frix was found around 8 p.m. yesterday inside the deer's pen on his property. Cherokee County Sheriff's Sergeant Jay Baker says he had been gored several times in the upper body by a deer's antlers. The deer was one of several Frix kept on his property. His relatives told sheriff's deputies the deer had recently been acting very aggressive, probably due to rut -- the period when deer mate. Authorities say it appears Frix tried to fend off the deer, which was the size of a small elk. A family member later shot and killed the deer. No charges have been filed and the incident has been turned over to the Department of Natural Resources for further investigation. Deer kill about 150 people a year in the Unites States. But most of those deaths happen when deer are involved in collisions with automobiles. [/QUOTE]
