From KYTX CBS19
HARRISON COUNTY (KYTX) -- Benjamin Gerald Rushton, 60, was killed by a deer he was keeping in a kennel in his back yard at his home south of Waskom this morning.
Harrison County Sheriff's Officers found Rushton pierced by the deer's antlers in his backyard around 10:30 Friday morning. The deer was a Red Stagg deer.
Game wardens shot and killed the deer.
Red Stagg deer can get very aggressive during mating season. Game wardens say they don't know why Rushton had the deer in a kennel in his backyard.
The incident is still under investigation. Game warden Chris Green says this is the first fatal attack of its kind.
