A 78 year old man from Prievidza (a town in the west of Slovakia) has died in hospital a week after being attacked by a stag. Apparently, it was a spontaneous attack as the man tended his orchard – the stag charged and skewered him with its antlers. More can be read here – noviny.sk – Stag Kills Man
Deaths from stag attacks are relatively rare, usually only one every so many years. Most often they’re during rutting season when people approach stags because they’re just standing still and not running away (which is because their brains are addled by rampant hormones). My kids and I were charged by one in the forest several years back and we had to hide behind a tree while it went berserk. 99.99% of the time the stag just flees though.
Note – the picture isn’t mine, it’s from the newspaper.

No words…It’s always a strange fact…
I’ve read about these attacks other times
Are you going to write another article for the magazine? The last one was brilliant. I’d love one of those shirts
Many thanks Edward!
I would like to write a next article, and i have other DIY ideas, but in this period I can’t for work engagement … Uff… I hope to make another one, because it was a very nice experience for me!
