A woman was recently unexpectedly attacked by a buck in her own front yard—proof that wildlife encounters aren’t just things that happen in the woods or just in the mountains. While this particular incident may not have occurred in Montana, it is a reminder that it could happen here. Rutting deer and protective moose to bears following their noses into neighborhoods, wildlife doesn’t always respect fence lines. Staying aware and giving animals plenty of space is just as important in town as it is on the trail.
