Cody from episode five point thirty four, 11 00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.959 if you'll remember, he came on and talked about his 12 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.920 experiences with a dog woman, a female dog man named Sasha. Well, 13 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.200 not long ago, he contacted me to bring me up 14 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.039 to speed to let me know that since we spoke 15 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.240 last he had had several experiences with Sasha and she's 16 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.400 still coming around. And last night we spoke for about 17 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.520 two hours until the wee hours of the morning, and 18 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.560 you won't believe what happened when he had this one 19 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.800 particular encounter with her. I'm not going to get into 20 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.000 any details about it, but I will let you know. 21 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.879 The good news is Tuesday night, at nine pm Eastern time, 22 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:36.960 we're going to air a special live stream where Cody's 23 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.960 going to be backed updates you to let you know 24 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.759 what's been going on, so we hope you're going to 25 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.719 be able to make it again. That's Tuesday, Tuesday night 26 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.360 at nine pm Eastern Time, all right. Having said all 27 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.439 of that, tonight's guest was featured on episode five twenty eight, 28 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.680 and on that episode, he talked about a bad dogman 29 00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.919 encounter he had one late evening where fortunately his dog, Dallas, 30 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:06.719 a white American bulldog, gave his life, saving his from 31 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.840 this dog man that was about to kill him. At 32 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.960 least in my opinion, it sure sounded like that dog 33 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.680 man was about to kill Cam if Dallas, his dog, 34 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.400 wouldn't have rushed to his aid. Well, since we spoke last, 35 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.879 Kim had another encounter with that same dog man, unfortunately, 36 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.719 something I was hoping would never happen, but unfortunately it did. 37 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.240 And when you listen to Cam share the details of 38 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:38.120 this most recent experience, this most recent encounter, oh boy, 39 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.879 unfortunately it went just about as bad as it could 40 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.759 have gone. So without any further ado, let's bring Cam 41 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.919 in here now. Kim, thanks so much for coming back. 42 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.240 Thanks Jampan man Man. 43 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.400 Oh you're welcome, but I just hate the fact that 44 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.360 you're back here for the reason that you are. I mean, 45 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.120 I was hoping you'd never have an other experience, but 46 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.879 it just didn't shape out to be that way, did it. 47 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:11.400 No, my luck, it's always been that way. It can't 48 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.199 go wrong. It will go wrong as it can go. 49 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:19.639 But it's yeah, I'm sitting here, I'm so loud. Still 50 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:21.120 got another shot one day, so. 51 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.399 Yeah, that's Murphy's law. Are you further away from your 52 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.360 phone now, Caim than you were when we did the 53 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.399 sound check? Because you don't sound as good as he 54 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.600 did in the soundcheck. 55 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:37.759 No, no, I'm still here. Comeover. Is that any better? 56 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.160 That's a little bit better. I think we can work 57 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:46.000 with that. Okay, Yeah, thanks for doing that. Whatever you did. Well. 58 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.800 For anyone who missed that episode, Episode five, twenty eight, Cam, 59 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:51.480 please tell them about yourself. 60 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.800 Man. My name is Cam. I'm thirty one years old, 61 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:06.360 more Central, Mississippi. I've got three kids, married to my 62 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.800 beautiful wife. Yes, like I said, Like I said, there's 63 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.720 not too much about me that's out of the ordinary. 64 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.600 You know, see, my friends, when I can work hard 65 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.240 all the week long and come home and enjoy my family, 66 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.319 slash hunt and fishing time on the weekends, you know, 67 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:24.600 just another dude. 68 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.240 It really is a shame. You've carved out a good 69 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.920 life for yourself. It's just so unfortunate that dog Man 70 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.160 is hanging around. I really wish that wasn't the case. Well, 71 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.759 let's dive right into it, Kim. I'm sure there are 72 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.079 some people listening who didn't listen to episode five twenty eight, 73 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.040 and with that in mind, for them to understand what's 74 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.160 going on with this most recent experience, they need to 75 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.600 know about your backstory. So can you give us, like 76 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.920 a brief, a fairly brief explanation on what happened when 77 00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.160 you had that first encounter. 78 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.800 Yeah, I won't linger on it. It's you know, I 79 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:03.759 don't want to hear it. Like they said, it's all 80 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.879 in so five twenty eight, but in a nutshell, there's 81 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.959 been some problems in my grandparents' farm. Me and my 82 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.839 my friend Tyler went to uh then out in the coyotes, 83 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.439 and we thought that was you know, I thought that 84 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.399 would fix the problem. And during all this, you know, 85 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:26.079 I have my dog with me. Uh we run into 86 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.240 the dog Man runs into us. We were, you know, 87 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:34.839 minding our business, and uh it kind of approaches us. 88 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.519 You know, and just he's scary. You know. He approaches us, 89 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.959 and Tyler took a shot at him because he felt threatened, 90 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.959 so I shot him. Uh, he runs from us. We 91 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.639 thought he was gone. We both agreed that it was 92 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:56.199 time to go. He flanked us. I guess he knew 93 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.560 where my truck was or saw us come in, or 94 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.800 maybe why in the process of running away he heard 95 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.639 us coming back and he flanked us. He knocked me 96 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:09.879 off the four wheeler, knocked me out, and Towers again, 97 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:11.480 I was I was out for this part, but Towers 98 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.720 says that he was on me and that was pretty 99 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.519 much in his mind it. You know, I was fixing 100 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.439 to die. And then here comes Dallas, is my dog. 101 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.839 Uh yeah, he essentially tackles this thing off of me, 102 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.360 and by the time I'm coming around, coming to got 103 00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.439 my wits back about me, he was uh he was 104 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:35.439 all but dead and uh kind of make mad dash 105 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:41.319 for this thing and kills my dog, and uh, you know, 106 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.720 I had I had luckily had somebody with me and 107 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.480 uh Tower, they picked up my rifle off the ground 108 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.279 at some point you know during all this, I guess, 109 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.839 and uh emptied it on him and he almost shot me. 110 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.399 He really did shot, but he saved my life and 111 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:07.399 the thing ran away, and I mean we had to 112 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.800 go and bury my dog that night. I had to 113 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.240 tell my grandpa about this, and uh woke him up 114 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.360 in the miss like one o'clock, one thirty in the morning, 115 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:22.279 and uh, I mean it was just really it. I 116 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.120 went out looking for him, you know, several times since 117 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.839 things many took you know, he took my dog, who 118 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.360 was like my you know, my best friend, and he 119 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.679 took my peace of mind. He took my you know 120 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.080 that I can't take my kids hunting out on this 121 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:42.000 playub is where it was where I grew up, you know. 122 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:47.519 And uh yeah, hey, they took a lot of things 123 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:51.480 from me, man, But I'll get him back one day. 124 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.840 You know. My mind's all but made up. Somehow, someways 125 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:59.440 gonna happen. But here on Friday, the thirteenth of all days, 126 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.279 was I talked to Vic. Yes it was last week, 127 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.919 told him about all this, but uh oh, I'm sorry, 128 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.399 ready for the me to talk about the next cart 129 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:12.440 And I just kind of jumped into that Endine app. 130 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.679 No, you're fine. You're fine. By the way, Cam, are 131 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.080 you using your earbuds now? Because in sound check. I 132 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:23.440 didn't hear any chirping, but there's like a chirping artifact 133 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.320 when you're talking. 134 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:29.120 Now. No, no, I think it's just my speakerphone. 135 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.240 It might be what the phone's laying on. 136 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.919 Possibly hold, I'm not sure what's going on now? Is 137 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:36.559 that any better? 138 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:38.159 Yeah? That right there is? 139 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.000 Okay, Yeah, that is better. 140 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.559 Before we have you tell us about this most recent experience, 141 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.639 I just wanted to make sure you understand when we 142 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.559 had that conversation. Not too long after that, I made 143 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.799 a post on my Facebook page. I just put it 144 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.000 out there that I'd been putting a lot of thought 145 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:02.759 into this most recent experience. It was really frustrating for 146 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:04.919 me because I saw it as a checkmate type of 147 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.919 a situation. There weren't any good options for dealing with it. 148 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.360 There might have been some options, as some people thought 149 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.000 were options, but they really weren't. I mean, sending people 150 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.080 out there to try and hunt this dog man that's 151 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.480 only going to aggravate it and just increase the possibility 152 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:24.919 that it actually does harm someone their own, your grandfather's 153 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.440 proper year, maybe even follows you to your own. So 154 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.799 that's not an option. So I mean, it was just 155 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.080 really frustrating because there were no good options to try 156 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.759 and solve that situation that you're in. So I put 157 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.840 a lot of thought into that. I normally don't spend 158 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.320 too much time laying in bed thinking about dog me 159 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.799 and encounters and everything, but yeah, that got some mileage 160 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.440 on me. It definitely did. I just hate the fact 161 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.240 you've got to deal with this. It's just so frustrating. 162 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:52.919 It really is. 163 00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:00.080 It is, you know, but you know frustrating, is it? 164 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:06.279 Maybe that's the that's a problem that has literally stared 165 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:11.279 me in my face twice now, and yeah, dealing with 166 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.000 it's really the only option that I have however it 167 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.519 comes about. But I appreciate all your help, you know, 168 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.440 all the words and the you know, asking around and 169 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.480 all that. And I'm not going to send a bunch 170 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.440 of people out there, hire a team to come out 171 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.360 and not play. I'm not gonna put anybody else's life 172 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.000 in danger. Just to just clear there, that's not what 173 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:34.159 I'm going to do. It's not my goal. 174 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.759 Good man. I'm glad you're not going to do that. 175 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.440 We spoke before we came on the air, and I 176 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.639 put Kim. I let Kim know that there is a 177 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.000 gentleman named Beer Helper who's going to hopefully help him 178 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.320 resolve this situation. He says he's had a lot of 179 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:53.399 experience dealing with this kind of a situation before with 180 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.440 other people, so hopefully that is going to work out. 181 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.320 I really hope it will, but I guess time will 182 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:03.279 tell on that. Well, Kim, with that, didn't you further Ado, 183 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.159 whenever you're ready, please take your time and tell us 184 00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:07.919 about this most recent experience. 185 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:15.000 Sure, so, I'm not superstitious to the whole Friday at 186 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.320 thirteen thinking that happened to follow on a Friday that 187 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.840 it was thirteenth, we normally cut out from work. I 188 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.840 worked with Tyler. Y'all listen. I y'all know who Tyler is. 189 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.159 He's the reason I'm able to tell you all the story. 190 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.080 But me and Tyler worked together all day every day. 191 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.360 I'm not with the with the company I was looking for, 192 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.879 so I get to see you and hang out with 193 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.559 and argue with Tyler all day long. But we we 194 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.879 got off work. I got off work. Tyler was supposed 195 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.960 to go with me to my grandparents place. We were 196 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:51.639 gonna spread corn, check cameras usual, and his dad called 197 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:52.960 him and said Hey, I need you to go to 198 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:56.840 this lady's house. There's something we have to do. And 199 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.200 he felt bad. He's like, man, you gonna be Yeah, 200 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.360 I'll be fine, don't worry about it. So I, Uh, 201 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:06.080 my kids hadn't seen my grandparents in a while, so 202 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.600 I called my wife, who was off for the doctors. 203 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.720 She works for is off on Friday so she has 204 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:14.840 the ability to work home and uh, well, my girls 205 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.519 were home, so I called her. I said, hey, you know, 206 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.120 it's been a while since bro seen grandma and grandpa. 207 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.440 If y'all would like to meet me out there, I'll 208 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:25.600 meet you there. And yeah, she's kind of kind of 209 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:29.320 hesitant to he's aware of things. But uh brought him 210 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:31.200 out there and I stopped at on the rants. On 211 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:35.679 the way, I got my corn ah meet them there, 212 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.759 walked them into the house at the carport, and uh, 213 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:44.399 excuse me, Grandpa said, you know, he said, hey, everybody, 214 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:45.799 and he said, where are you going. I said, I'm 215 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.399 fixing to go and reread all his corn do all this, 216 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:50.519 and he was like, no, you ain't going back, so 217 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:53.200 I'm going with you. I was like, no, no, you 218 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.039 need to stay up here at the house with the girls. 219 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.200 You know, they want to see you, and b I'd 220 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:02.799 like for you to be here, you know. So I 221 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:04.679 went and grabbed the foolilver and brought it back down, 222 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:08.000 got the corner out of my truck, went spread, bag, 223 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:13.679 checked my camera, saw some good deer, some kyodes and stuff. Ironically, 224 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.279 went spread the next bag, check, next camera, and I 225 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.639 saw this great, big bruiser buck that I've been hunting 226 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:23.759 for like two years now, and I thought he was 227 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:26.000 shot last year. So I got excited. All right, let me, 228 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.679 let me hurry up and get this other corner. So 229 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.559 I bet money he's over here in this bottom on 230 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:34.360 this camera too well. And in the the first two cameras, 231 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.399 in the first bit of corn, I spread that was 232 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:38.399 in the exact same spot where man Tyler had that 233 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.200 run in with this thing the first time. So I 234 00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:45.679 go and I get my h my last one hundred pounds, 235 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.399 and uh make my way down into that bottom where 236 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:53.919 is normally where the big deer are anyway, and uh, 237 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.840 I spread it, checked cameras, and sure enough he's there again. 238 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.480 You know, I'm so excited. I mean, that's the only 239 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:04.320 reason I mean out there now. And I started looking 240 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:07.480 around and I was like man from where he's breaking 241 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.879 through the trees. I need to move this. I've got 242 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:13.360 a climber stand. From what climber stand is, it's a 243 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.799 two piece deer stand that has teeth on the back 244 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.399 of it that you dig into the tree and you 245 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.679 essentially inch worm your way up a tree figure as 246 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.120 high up as you want to go, or as you know, 247 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.720 as as big as the accommodations for the tree stand 248 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:30.000 will take for the tree. A man, I need to 249 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.200 move that thing. So I got thinking, I got looking 250 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.200 and being picky enthoosy like I am. Took me a 251 00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:37.759 few minutes and I figured out where I wanted. I 252 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:40.399 put it on a tree. It's a bigger tree than 253 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:42.279 it was onside the stead. It took me a second, 254 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.080 and uh, I get this thing set up on the tree, 255 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:48.399 and I was like, man, I haven't used it's meant 256 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:49.919 sitting now since last year. I was, I need to 257 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.240 climb up and make sure I'm not going to fall 258 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.679 or have a break or something opening morning in my look. 259 00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.480 So I climb up to what I feel like twenty 260 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.759 five feet, maybe above twenty feet. It's it's much harder 261 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:06.759 for you know, even something with a nose like a 262 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.879 white tailed there. It's it's extremely hard for them to 263 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.759 wind you from that high up, you know, unless everything's 264 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:14.080 just incredibly not in your favor and you're let you 265 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:16.080 let your wife wash your hunting clothes the night before. 266 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.120 But uh, I climb up. I feel like it was 267 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:22.720 probably twenty five feet and uh man, it felt really 268 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.440 good that day. The wind was blowing and you know, 269 00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.120 everything's still green. There's nothing dead out there right now, 270 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:28.799 like all the green stole on the trees. But man, 271 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:33.159 the breeze was kicking. Felt good. And you know, I'm chunky. 272 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:34.720 I'm not in the shape that I used to be 273 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:36.600 much heavier than I was, so I was out of 274 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.720 breath by the time of making that or that that 275 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:43.080 high and uh, I sit there for a minute and 276 00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:45.399 I'm you know everything, I'm just kind of taking it in. Man. 277 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.600 It's it's beautiful. It feels great, nice change of pace 278 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.960 from that hot, sticky Mississippi air we have. And uh 279 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:54.879 see something out of my proof where I turned on 280 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.960 a look and it's him. He's there. Just all of 281 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:02.320 a sudden, I know where there is and uh, you know, 282 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:06.799 the shock factor is like at eleven, you know, it's 283 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:10.960 I had seen this thing, had hurt him, hide and 284 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.440 no hair. Nowhere have I seen this thing. And like 285 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.400 I said, I went out several times after you know, 286 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:19.200 me and Tyler had this running with him, hoping I 287 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.119 could see him and I could shoot him, I mean 288 00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.319 kill my dog, you know, and uh, but man, here 289 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.960 he is. And it was all you know, broad daylight, 290 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:33.240 broad daylight. Me and him. Man, we were god ten 291 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.559 feet probably from each other that night. But by the 292 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.480 time everything was said and done, when Tyler shot him, 293 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:41.640 that dude he probably could have reached out if he 294 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.680 wanted to, because his arms are wall unnaturally just weirdly 295 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:50.920 weirdly long. And seeing him in broad daylight, it's like, 296 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.119 I don't feel so stupid now for thinking that he 297 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.079 looked like a hyena broad daylight. He is exactly the 298 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:04.039 way I remember, look to be slightly smaller, like slim 299 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:09.319 not smaller in stature, but slimmer for whatever reason. And 300 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:13.480 it is I mean, I kind of resigned myself to, Okay, 301 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:14.799 I'm never going to see him, and I'll never have 302 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:19.000 a shot to get him. It'll never happen. He got 303 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:21.759 my dog, He robbed me of the ability to bring 304 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:24.200 my children out here, and then safely have them come 305 00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:25.880 and do something that I enjoy and I want them 306 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.920 to enjoy, you know. I just had that felt like 307 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.440 I was going to have to eat that, you know, 308 00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.960 find somewhere else to take my kids. But here he is, man, 309 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:41.240 And I mean it was, you know, just wow, you know, 310 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.079 the shot, the awe of the but regardless, man, I 311 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:46.759 hadn't seen him. It had been a half second. I 312 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:50.200 pulled my pistol out and he was probably don't know, man, 313 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:54.200 he's probably seventy yards too far, and uh, I tell 314 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.319 you he's He's very fortunate I didn't have my three zero. 315 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.680 I shot him right in the head. He did not 316 00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:59.960 see me. That was That was like the first thing 317 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.119 I noticed after Oh my god, there he is. That's 318 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.920 him right there. He didn't see me, and the wind 319 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:06.319 was at my face. So I was like, all right, 320 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.079 he has not seen me. He's not smelled me. And 321 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.680 you know, I was, I'm I wanted to pull my 322 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.920 phone out and call my wife. I wanted to tell 323 00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:15.119 her like, hey, I love you. I don't know if 324 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:16.839 I'll see you again, I don't you know, or call 325 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:18.519 my grandpa and tell him, hey, you know, make sure 326 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:20.240 the girls stay in the house. We need to call 327 00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:22.240 the game, you know, all he seems to go through 328 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.880 your head and uh, oh man, it's just you know, 329 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.160 it's there's there's a lot at one time. But regardless, 330 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.000 I know he hasn't seen me. And it was weird 331 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:35.200 because it's just strength. Man. The last time we saw 332 00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:38.119 each other, he came and found us. So it's just 333 00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.559 kind of weird to have him just absmindely walking, you know, 334 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:43.519 kind of. I mean, if he if he'd have kept 335 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:45.680 going and not got distracted, he would have seen me. 336 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:47.440 I feel like at some point he definitely would have 337 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:52.960 seen me. But uh, man, it's just there he is. 338 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:58.279 I can't I can't get over the you know, it's 339 00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:00.160 it's hard to say. It's hard. There's there's not a 340 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.279 lot of words for seeing that. At night, it seems 341 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.119 like a nightmare. Everything's dark and shadowy and all this 342 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:08.880 that I'm talking broad day. I mean, I might as 343 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.319 well have been watching the neighbor's dog walk down this 344 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:16.200 pine tree, this pine tree thicket. But uh, anyway, man, 345 00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:19.200 he's parallel in this thing, and he's in between what 346 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:21.680 used to be a creek bed and this pine tree 347 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:23.920 thicket and this pine tree thicket is where all these 348 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:26.799 big deer come from. So it makes and you know 349 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:28.680 what I'm gonna tell you, It all kind of makes sense. 350 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:31.839 But uh, man, I turn to look and I see 351 00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:33.720 something else, And for for about a half second, I 352 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.400 was like, oh my god, there's another one. Well it 353 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.319 was and it was a dog. It's this dough walking 354 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.200 down in this creek bed. And if the wind hadn't 355 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.039 been in my face, he would have winded him and 356 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:46.799 she would have never gotten close to him. But man, 357 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:48.880 she comes up out of this creek bed and they're 358 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.960 like fifteen to twenty feet maybe twenty five it's feet. 359 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.559 He sees her, and man, he makes pass for full 360 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.000 fledged lunges at her, and it was kind of awkward looking, 361 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.359 like it was like he like his movement was awkward 362 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.000 looking because dude, he was striding coming down there. You know, 363 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:08.480 if I didn't have such hatred for this thing, it 364 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.960 would almost be it's weird to even say this that 365 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.519 it would almost be beautiful, you know, like like not 366 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:20.119 I mean, obviously he's not beautiful, but this is I mean, 367 00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:23.480 he's mathve. Dude, he's like eight feet tall, between seven 368 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:26.000 and eight feet tall. It's a monster, like a living, breathing, 369 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.559 walking monster, and he makes the pass for this dough 370 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.599 and she dipped on it. She pump faked him and 371 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.599 was gone, and he did not chase her. Did not 372 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.480 chase her, which was weird. But I realized that the 373 00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:41.920 whole time he had been walking down this that he'd 374 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.839 been parallel in this this pre this ticket, he was limping. 375 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.039 He has the limp to him And I told Vic this, 376 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:52.279 but I'm and I'm I can't confirm this. I'm not 377 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:55.880 sure this, but I feel like Tyler blasted him, maybe 378 00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.400 broke his arm or something when he when he took 379 00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:00.720 one of like, I mean, the dude, the dude up 380 00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:04.160 until this point he has eight rifle rounds at right, 381 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:06.279 unless they all went through and came out the other side, 382 00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.599 that dude has like seven three h eight rounds. And 383 00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:12.240 when that round that Tyler hit him with out of 384 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.240 his two forty three, I mean, he's got multiple high 385 00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:16.400 power rifle rounds in him. So it would make sense 386 00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:19.519 to me that that's where his limp came from, because 387 00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.160 I mean, you don't really see deer limping because they 388 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:24.160 just hurt themselves walking around in the woods. I wouldn't 389 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:25.680 think that this thing would be any different being an 390 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:31.599 apex predator. But man, right about you know, second or 391 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.720 two goes by and he's missed this steer, and man, 392 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:36.880 he just kind of shook and looked frustrated, like like 393 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:41.240 a dog. And I realize really really quick that the 394 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:43.839 wind is at my back and he is almost dead 395 00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.240 in front of me. And as soon it must have 396 00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:48.200 been at my back for a minute before I actually 397 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.279 realized it, because as soon as I realize, oh god, 398 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:55.799 he looks up and he didn't look directly at me, 399 00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:58.440 but it didn't take him but a half second, and 400 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:03.319 we are all over again, just like last December, staring 401 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:09.519
