Not many details.  Here is the entire article:

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. (WDKY) — A Kentucky man is dead after a hunting accident involving a wounded deer.

The Department of Fish and Wildlife said 37-year-old Jared Hausfeld, of Versailles, was injured while struggling with the deer.

Initial reports from the Kentucky Medical Examiner said Hausfeld was tracking and trying to harvest the deer at the time.

The Anderson County Coroner’s Office removed Hausfeld from an area in Lawrenceburg, in Anderson County, around 2:30 p.m. Saturday after authorities received a “fatal hunting incident notification.”

Kentucky Fish and Wildlife said the investigation is ongoing.

According to his obituary, Hausfeld loved sharing his love of the outdoors with his wife of 12 years and their three sons.

“A country boy at heart, he loved the outdoors and wanted to share that passion with his family by taking them on camping and boating trips and teaching his sons to hunt and fish. He took care of their acreage and cattle, and always had a building project he was working on at home,” reads the obituary.

I feel the same way. Very suspicious.

Says he was tracking a wounded deer, and then “struggled” with it. I can only think it means the deer attacked him, which is very possible and killed him.

Well since no eyewitnesses I guess they had to make some assumptions. I can see where a knife to the femoral artery in your leg can easily do you in. 

A side note. I met a fellow hunter at the site of his ML kill. We stood there talking and the buck jumped up and lunged forward. He barely missed him with it's antlers. Good thing he reloaded before hand and was able to put it down with another shot. No BS.

I believe it if you do a Google search, you’ll see several hunters gored to death by wounded deer
