[QUOTE="Crosshairy, post: 3079337, member: 3202"] In Shelby County, I shot one once that was creeping up on me at the edge of a dove field (in a low crawl, sneaking up behind me). In hindsight, I'm relatively confident that it would have figured out what I was before attacking, but it was VERY unsettling to see when I turned around on that bucket. I genuinely thought I was about to be attacked. It was so close I didn't really aim the shotgun, just pointed in its general direction. Aside from that one experience :) I think they are pretty cool animals. I have seen a few of them in pictures that have killed small fawns, but I don't think they present a significant predation threat to older deer (there are just easier things to catch for an animal that size). Just like anything, their numbers have to be monitored, and predator hunting by a few folks that like it is a great way of keeping their numbers from getting out of control. I also like the fact that they are native animals, as BowGirl pointed out. [/QUOTE]
