Not to sound off but it still don't add up to me. You live in a similar climate as me and the winter wheat does not come off until end of June or July at the earliest. I have never seen a deer get in the combine in my area, deer are just not that slow and dumb.I also would have to say that he could have only had two or three at the most. The front end of a thrasher on a combine is a fragile piece of equipment. After the first one he would be very pissed, and after the second one he would be doing something different because a combine could not handle that kind of abuse plain and simple. The only way I could see a deer getting killed by a farmer is if he had a large bush hog chopper being pulled real fast by a big tractor and the small ones would not have time to move. But in June and July they are out of the hiding and nest phase and are up and around with mom alot. Still seems way to off base IMO.
