Confused roe deer wandered round in circles- woman caught it with her hands
Another incredible deer story surfaced in Jutland. Last week it was the deer that was frozen in the middle of a field in Aunsbjerg near Viborg. It gave hunters the chance to get close to the deer.
This time it was Therese Wallem, who was allowed to get close to a deer at Gandrup near Aalborg. It was not frozen. Instead it walked confused around in circles.
- It was a pretty wild experience. I had just dropped my kids off at school, and then I saw the deer that wandered around the field. I thought that was a little strange because they don't usually tend to wander so close to town and traffic, says Therese Wallem to bt.dk.
She therefore parked the car and decided to check if the deer was okay. She slowly approached the animal, because she would not scare it away, but even though it noticed that she approached, it didn't run away.
- In the end, it finally came over and sniffed at me. Then I realised that something was very wrong. I had to take it home in the car, so it could get help.
- I managed to catch it, and fortunately a lady came over, who could help me to get it in the trunk, she says.
Therese Wallem, who is a biology student at Aalborg University, chose to call the Animal Protection, who told her that her deer was probably drunk because it had eaten some fermented fruit in the field.
But the deer continued to behave strangely for several days. Therese Wallem therefore concluded that it probably wasn't drunk, but that there was something wrong with the deer .
- I could see it hadn't gotten better since I caught it, and therefore I had to shoot it, says Therese Wallem.
Therefore, it is still uncertain exactly what was wrong with the deer.
