Deer Smashes Two State Capitol Windows
(AP) St. Paul Gov. TimPawlenty’s deer hunting season got off to an early start Thursday — and he didn’t even have to leave the Capitol.
As Pawlenty got out of his car, he and his entourage heard a large smash and then saw a big buck sprint past. The deer broke two windows at the Capitol before bounding off.
Officially, Minnesota’s deer hunting season doesn’t get going until Saturday. But Pawlenty said the parking lot incident is a good omen.
The governor’s formal deer kickoff is set for this weekend in Perham, Minn.
