“It was a buck. It was huge,” the homeowner said.

The homeowner said her mother was in bed when the deer jumped on it.

“(My mom) is doing good. She’s a little shaken up, but she’s OK,” the homeowner said.

On Monday, the family is continuing to clean up the blood and broken glass. They will probably have to get rid of some of the furniture.

“The people that cleaned the house said there’s a chance the deer left Anthrax or something,” the homeowner said.

The damage will be covered by insurance, the homeowner said.
