Post placeholder image

A Blount County woman was seriously injured yesterday in an attack by a white-tailed buck outside a business in Maryville. The female was getting mail when the unprovoked deer came up behind her and knocking her to the ground. The deer then circled around her and began goring her with its antlers. The victim was transported to Blount County Memorial Hospital for treatment. Wildlife officers responded to the area and located the deer at a residence nearby. The deer was wearing an orange collar around its neck and officers observed it acting unnaturally humanized. The deer was euthanized at another location.
