(Frederick News-Post) Ryan Manchester did not need camouflage or a tree stand to kill his first deer. He was shirtless and standing behind his living room couch, less than 10 feet away.
On Dec. 5, an eight-point buck busted Manchester’s front door open and ransacked the Walkersville High School senior’s home. After calling 911 and feeling he had no other choice, Manchester shot the deer twice — once in the head and once in the shoulder — and killed it.
Manchester figures it all started when the buck wanted to mate with his family’s Christmas tree.
His family dragged the tree through the front door, and thinks the scent of doe urine lured the deer to come in, the same way they brought in the tree.
