It’s possible that this is chronic wasting disease or something, but I’m more inclined to think it’s bullshit.

Prion diseases like that make deer do allllll sorts of kooky shit, man. Definitely possible.
Dasus@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
It’s otherwise possible, but actually having it stand up and be able to keep it’s balance sounds like horseshit. Also I don’t think it intentionally bashed it’s brains in to eat them, but I wouldn’t be surprised they might when some spills.
Like trying imaging a horse walking on two legs. It’s just the anatomy doesn’t really allow for it, even to the extent that cats and dogs do, which can do some steps.

Yeah, if its brains were everywhere, it wouldn’t be able to walk to the river let alone on two legs.

Animals, and people, can and have continued to be alive and… somewhat, or even mostly functional… with portions of their brains obliterated or removed.
Go look up Phinneas Gage, or the history of lobotomies and brain surgeries.
Now, this person could be describing bloody chunks of the skull and skin amd fur, but it is not strictly impossible that the deer could have actually managed to loose chunks of its actual brain, and still remain capable enough to keep functioning…
… for a while, at least. If it did really cave in its own skull, it would almost certainly die from cranial hemmoraghing soon afterward, if not that, infections.

Yeah that’s really the part that makes me think it’s exaggerated, misremembered, or just completely false.
