Arkansas man kills deer with bare hands
Forty-minute struggle came after animal broke into home

Buck may have been attacking reflection in window, police say

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — For 40 exhausting minutes, Wayne Goldsberry battled a buck with his bare hands in a bedroom of his daughter's home.

Goldsberry finally subdued the five-point whitetail deer that crashed through a bedroom window Friday. When it was over, blood splattered the walls and the deer lay dead 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. The deer ran down the hall and into the master bedroom — "jumping back and forth across the bed."

Goldsberry entered the bedroom to confront the animal 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.

Goldsberry, sore from the struggle, dragged the dead animal out of the house.

"He got kicked several times. He was walking bowlegged for a while," Deputy Doug Gay said.

At this time of year, a buck that sees its reflection in a window often charges, believing it is fighting off a rival, Gay said.

Goldsberry intended to have the deer processed for its meat.

Sorry... but I am ROFL! Talk about reinforcing stereotypes.....

The suggestion appears to be that maybe the deer was agressive...

The thing is though... Arkansas is renowned as a "hillbilly" area, so anything is possible

I see. I didn't realise. Doesn't Bill Clinton come from Arkansas ?

Yes, Clinton does come from Arkansas.. which might provide you with some interesting insights

It just so happens he does, but, as of yet, no one has proven a blood-relation between him and lewinski and/or Hillary, so hes not a bonafide arkansian (no offense to normal arkansians.)

There was a 5-point buck in his house, and he didn't have a gun. So he had to fight it with his bare hands.

@ DW and Phreddie. LOL
I need to rethink the little I know about him.

@ VonDondu.Of course. But now I'm wondering why he didn't have a gun ?!?

@Fiona,
Translation:
The stereotype is that rednecks are rumoured to be rather inbred...

To quote Jeff Foxworthy:

"That Ain't funny, is it, sis!"

After telling us all that family reuninions were a great place for rednecks to pick up chicks.

Psht... Living in Texas, I know part of becoming a man in the south is killing a deer with your bare hands... Try killing a bear with a fishbone. Only a real man can do that.

Epiphany

LMAO!

The truth is finally revealed... Killing a deer with ones bare hands is a redneck initiation rite. Now it all makes sense!
