Majestic deer galloping through Colorado field falls flat on its antlers after trying to clear fence at high speed
  • last year
This video shows a deer majestically galloping through a field before falling flat on its face while trying to clear a roadside fence. Landscape gardener Jacob Benson, 23, was heading into town to get some supplies for a weekend of hunting when he saw the animal. Footage filmed in Craig in Colorado, USA, shows the initially serene animal bouncing along the landscape before taking a tumble. The animal is seen leaping at an oblique angle but catches its hooves on the top of the fence. It ends up going face-first into the banking, but shakes it off and returns back to the field after it is able to jump back over the fence. Mr Benson is heard saying in shock: "Oh my god, I got that on video!" He added: "When this happened, I was worried, stunned, and appalled. It was very wild to catch on camera." The video was filmed on December 5.
