This is normal deer behavior. It only gets sketchy if they talk to you.

Pretty sure this is an SCP.
- A secure copy?

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.
  
  It's otherwise possible, but actually having it stand up and be able to keep it's balance sounds like horseshit. (edit, it's not, they totally can) 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. (And ai think OP would exaggerate, it'd probably be blood, but having some brain matter leak out isn't out of the question with it still being conscious, I think.
  ~~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.~~
  Edit that was some utter bullshit guessing by me. Most wrong I've been about animals in a while, I think, got to own up to it.
- Yeah, if its brains were everywhere, it wouldn't be able to walk to the river let alone on two legs.
  
  Thing is people really don't know what brains look like or the force that would be required to crack the skull. I don't think a deer is capable of it.
  BUT it very well could have cracked an antler and busted open a good wound and left a bloody mess that you might assume were brains.
  But also this sounds like total BS.
  
  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 and 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.
