Woman fights deer

A woman in Montana recently got into a fistfight with a deer after it attacked one of her poodles.

Carol Lince, 61, was at her home about 35 miles southeast of Butte when she heard one of her three poodles dogs let out a loud yelp.  She went outside and found a lage doe ramming the dog into the ground with its head.

Lince kicked the deer’s hind legs to get it off of her dog. She didn’t count on the deer wheeling around to attack her.

She said the deer head-butted her in the abdomen and knocked her into her fence. That’s when Lince came out swinging, pummeling the deer in th head with her fists. The doe eventually gave up the fight, juming Lince’s fence and running off.

The poodle, whose name is Little Fighter, was examined by Lince’s vet and found to be OK . Lince has brusies on her stomach from the encounter.

Wildlife officials said deer, like any wild animal, can become aggressive towards people or pets.
