Here's a great story about deer in Iowa...

Deer Slams Into Snow-shoveling Woman

ALGONA, Iowa -- Even at age 84, Ruby Heinen shovels snow from her walkway. But the Algona resident was no match for a charging deer that knocked her down outside her home on Sunday.
Heinen was clearing snow in the morning when the big buck hit her from behind. She was left with two broken ribs, a swollen lip and bruises to her face.
Deer in the area are common, and she thinks this one was startled by a barking dog.
Heinen was feeling a little better Thursday but remained surprised by what happened.
As she put it, "Good grief, I tell you. Oh Lord. Such a darn thing to happen."
