However, recently some Milwaukee Buck fans that were enjoying the game in a Wisconsin bar had good reason to actually “fear the deer.” Ironically, two thirsty whitetails busted through a glass window and ran into the crowded Stout Ale House Bar during the Bucks playoff game with Atlanta. In fact, many customers were watching the game when the two deer literally busted up the party.
