Class B First-hand BFRO #32444

US Marine has a possible encounter with his deer kill outside Jacksonville

18 October 2010 Around 830 at night Jacksonville, Onslow County, North Carolina 1 witness

Account

The witness shot a deer at dusk and dragged it toward his truck after dark. On the trail he saw a widely spaced pair of large eyes at about his own height that stayed after he fired a handgun into the ground, then left to the side through dense brush with loud crashing. He smelled a foul musky odor and found pushed-over vegetation where it left, felt watched while field-dressing the deer, and later found part of the carcass dragged about 300 yards.
