Man Kills Buck With Bare Hands in Bedroom
Tue Nov 1, 9:39 PM ET
BENTONVILLE, Ark. - It looked like a crime scene, but no charges will be filed after Wayne Goldsberry killed a buck with his bare hands in his daughter's bedroom.
The engagement lasted an exhausting 40 minutes, but Goldsberry finally subdued the five-point whitetail deer that crashed through a bedroom window at his daughter's home Friday. When it was over, blood splattered the walls and the deer lay on the bedroom floor, its neck broken.
Goldsberry was at his daughter's home when he heard glass breaking. He went back to check on the noise and found the deer.
"I was standing about like this peeking around the corner when the deer came out of the bedroom," said Goldsberry, demonstrating while peering around his kitchen wall. The deer ran down the hall and into the master bedroom — "jumping back and forth across the bed."
"I could tell he was really tearing up the place back there," Goldsberry said.
Goldsberry entered the bedroom to confront the deer and, after a brief struggle, emerged to tell his wife to call police. After returning to the bedroom, the fight continued. Goldsberry finally was able to grip the animal and twist its neck, killing it.
"He was trying to get up a corner wall and I just came in behind him and grabbed him by the horns and just started pushing down," said Goldsberry.
Goldsberry, sore from the struggle, dragged the dead animal out of the house.
"He got kicked several times. He was walking bowlegged for awhile," Deputy Doug Gay said.
Benton County Sheriff Keith Ferguson said that when he arrived he found the deer dead in the front yard. Goldsberry intended to have the deer processed for its meat.
Gay said that, this time of year, bucks that see their reflection in windows often charge them, believing the mirror image to be a rival.
Deputy Doug leaves us hanging as to just how much they often charge them, though.
Twenty bucks says it all happened in a double-wide (not that there's anything wrong with that!).

Any man who goes after a rampaging deer bare-handed and wins the fight has bar stories for the rest of his life.

One time, a bird flew into our garage and I had a heck of a time getting him to fly back out.
I've never told that story in a bar, though.

Not sure, but I think doing battle with a bird doesn't have the same elan as duking it out with a deer.
I could be wrong, though.

I might have made it sound easier than it really was in real life.
I still think it's not a good bar story, though. Maybe if it was a horned owl or something dangerous like that. Robins just don't scare a lot of people, especially those that don't remember or haven't seem Hitchcock's "The Birds" or other scary movies like that. Like the one with those big, huge worms that eat people. The one that's on evey other Saturday on channel 42. We used to fish with those things and we weren't scared. We fished with them and we LIKED it.
