Concrete buck mugged, concrete doe assaulted

I guess when this River Falls buck was looking the gun hunting season square in the face, he decided he didn't have anything to lose:
The fallen heavy buck ornament had its horns snapped and its stomach cracked.

The story gets more gruesome. A nearby concrete doe ornament - still somehow standing - had scratch marks on the tail and hind legs.

Evidence was soon found on the ground. The culprit was not a human vandal. Deep, fresh hoof prints were left by both ornaments.

“Officer Golden said, ‘You’re not going to believe this, but your cement buck got attacked by a real deer.’ Then, when we looked at the marks left on the back of the doe ornament and figured what happened, we just looked at each other and started laughing,” Rustad said.

That had to hurt. The ornaments damaged by the still at large (or is he?) buck were made of concrete and weighed 400 pounds.
