we had been coon hunting there were 4 of us we were running 3 black&tan coon hounds. it was a full moon in the late fall of the year. we had just been running the dogs in a 40 acre section one of the largest section of wood in this area. well when the moon rose there not much since in coon hunting because the coon lay up when the full moon comes up. so we 4 were walking the dogs out heading back to the truck to load the dogs up and call it a night. all at once the dogs took off from us then all hell broke loose. by the way i was the only one that didn't have a light or a dog. the guys that owned the dogs took off after them. i heard the dogs yelping like i never heard before you could hear the fear in them by the way they sounded. i was left standing in the middle of a corn filed with corn still standing in it. i heard this blood curdling scream. and it kept screaming and head right my way. i could hear the guys behind this scream yelling at their dogs trying to settle them down. so what ever this was it was heading my way and it sounded like a tank coming. i turn and started running as hard as i could and this thing was ganging on me very quick. and i used to be a very fast runner. but i was running thru a corn field but i was picking them up and putting them down. and what ever this was was coming right up the path i was make thru the corn field. i couldn't run no more so i turned to face what ever it was screaming and coming on me very quick. it didn't take but a few sec. and there it was i was scared to death it ran right into me and knocked me down. but when i first seen it come thru the corn it was bent over and had a deer on it shoulder and neck and when it ran into me it was as surprised to see me as i was it. when it ran me over it dropped the deer and i mean it was gone in a flash. i was dazed and had the wind knocked out of me and the deer it dropped this was really strange because the deer was still alive its back bottom part of it leg was twisted almost completely off. it was a spike buck i believe because it antlers were busted off. i mean this deer just laid there the other guys heard me screaming and this thing screaming and they were coming on the run with the dogs. when they got to where i was at they helped me up and they thought that the deer and i had a run in in the corn. i told them what happened but they didn't believe me and one of the guys was my brother. he said the dogs had run into deer before and never had they acted that way. well we had the deer to take care of we radio the game-warden and i told him what happened and he looked at me like i was crazy because i still was pretty shook up yet. the warden said that the deer must of got caught up in the fence and twisted it leg off. i told him there was no fence. well any ways that's what he put in his report. then he shot the deer and filled out some paper work and released the dead deer to us my brother and i took the deer home and dressed it out the deer's back leg was not only twisted the hip bone was pulled out of socket and the back bone was broken. and the antler were broken off. the deer weighted about 150lb. but the meat was so bruised we couldn't do anything with it. there were no cuts in this deer like they are when they are hit by a car. this deer had the crap beat out of it. my brother agreed something had a hold of it. he said something big. the way its leg was twisted and its back all busted. i took be made fun of for quit a few years over this no one believed me and they were right there in the same area with me. via (Link: bfro.net)
