The Universe is listening... Farmer Feared Killed by a Mating Buck TORONTO (Reuters) - A Canadian farmer was found dead after an incident that police said may have resulted from a buck staking his territory around 13 doe during mating season. William McCavanagh, a 54-year-old southern Ontario resident, was discovered by a neighbor in a deer compound with bite marks and other injuries that police said appeared to have been inflicted by the buck. ``The deer had been at him but we're not sure if the deer killed him or he maybe had a medical problem beforehand... for example, a heart attack,'' Constable Hal Brown of the Ontario Provincial Police said Friday. Authorities were awaiting the results of an autopsy. Police said that during rutting season, from September to December, male deer become very territorial and aggressive. ``People have to be very cautious when handling the deer and interacting with them during rutting season when the male hormones are flowing,'' said Brian Tapscott, an alternative livestock specialist at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture.
