A large buck stormed a family-owned fur company in Willmar, Minnesota, with a warehouse full of deer hides being tanned for local hunters. Scott Johnson of Johnson Fur was in his office when an employee called his name. As he stood up, the deer appeared around the corner, running at full speed.
After slamming Johnson in the stomach with his antlers — the furrier got away with a little light bruising — the deer rampaged through the office, leaping over tables and sending paperwork flying across the floor. At one point, the buck even jumped onto a refrigerator.
"He proceeded to make mischief of it," Johnson said. "He kind of tore the place apart." Then, with the Johnsons' terrier nipping at his heels, the deer ran back out the door and into the wild. The Johnsons speculate the buck was looking for a mate and got confused by the smell of the deer hides.
