Deer Hunting in Ottawa Hills

I caught the story on channel 11 tonight about the meeting and vote for hunting deer in Ottawa Hills. They showed several people for and against the cause.

One gentleman said something along the lines of the following. "If a deer was to jump over you and then kick you with a back leg, it could cause serious harm or injury."

Now, I grew up next to woods and I've seen my share of deer upclose, but I have never seen or even heard of a deer jumping completely over a person and then kicking them in the head. I just found that story/warning to be so freaking funny.

I imagine that deer, like any animal of that size, can get pretty dangerous if put in the wrong situation, but jumping over people and kicking them in the head? Why haven't we been warned of such danger before?
