Based on an incident that took place on June 23, a video of a deer being tackled by an employee in a Wisconsin Walmart store in Baraboo went viral on the internet. The deer entered the premises of the store and was tackled to the floor, reportedly to prevent it from running through the store aisles. It was held down by the employee until a back door to the US Walmart store was opened, for the deer to be led out from. The viral video showed a large deer being held down on the floor by an employee with all their strength, while the deer resisted the pushdown and was fighting to stand up again.

As per a report published by the Wisconsin DNR in 2019, the statewide post-hunt white-tailed deer population estimate for 2019 was approximately 1.19 – 1.45 million deer. "Population estimates are made for each year independent of the previous year’s estimate and were finalized following review of the raw deer ageing and recruitment data by local biologists.", stated the report. Another image published by the Wisconsin DNR showed a graph of the deer population in the area. The image shows population ups and downs from 2006 to late 2020, with a line charting the 3-year average on the graph.
