Colorado Woman Brutally Gored by Mule Deer at Her Front Door

A 67-year-old woman in Silver Cliff, Colorado, was attacked and gored by a mule deer buck outside her front door. Wildlife officers suspect that the deer had lost its fear of humans due to someone feeding it. Feeding deer is illegal in Colorado and can lead to dangerous consequences, such as attracting mountain lions and increasing the risk of accidents. The woman was taken to the hospital, and wildlife officers are searching for the deer to euthanize it and prevent future attacks.

Fatal Elk Attack Claims First Victim in Arizona as Woman is Trampled to Death

A woman in Arizona has become the first person to die from an elk attack in the state after allegedly trying to feed the animal. The incident occurred on her property in the Pine Lake community, and her husband found her with injuries consistent with being trampled by an elk. The victim was taken to the hospital but later passed away. The Arizona Game and Fish Department has warned against feeding wildlife, as it can lead to habituation and dangerous encounters. While this is the first fatal elk attack in Arizona, there have been five reported elk attacks in the past five years.
