Gwen Gawricki describes sound

Gwen Gawricki said the deer's antlers make a 'clank, clank, clank' sound as it moves through trees.

“There's a pathway that they cut through, but because he has the pole, you can hear the 'clank, clank, clank,' on the trees”

Residents have called animal control, fish and wildlife officials, and police to get the deer assistance.
