Who needs a rifle when you have a lawn ornament? Mark Brye of Viroqua, Wis., has a freezer full of venison after a love-crazed seven-point buck dropped dead in his yard ramming Brye’s concrete elk lawn statue. Talk about a mismatch: The deer weighed 180 pounds, the lawn ornament 640. And just to make it legal, wrote Bob Lamb of the La Crosse Tribune, “Brye claimed the buck with a tag from the Vernon County conservation warden. He laughed at the warden’s tag note: ‘Lawn ornament fight — lost.’ ” The statue isn’t doing so hot, either, one of its antlers shattered into five pieces.
