As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream. A few seconds later, she saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the buck was attacking a woman. Sue Panter, a 44-year-old mother of four, had been out for her morning run. The buck had emerged from the tall corn and begun following her. “I knew I was in trouble,” Panter went to pick up a log to use for self-defense, and the buck attacked. It lifted her with its antlers and tossed her into the air.

Alexis grabbed a hammer and ran to where Michael lay in the dirt. She beat the buck’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t frighten it. Standing over her father, Alexis could see that he was struggling to breathe. “A couple more strikes, Lex,” said Michael. Alexis squeezed her eyes shut and hit several times. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.
Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the hospital. After doctors treated Sue and Michael, Sue tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”
