not sure if its true or not but dont see why something like that couldnt happen

Wow that's crazy but I could see it happening.

WOW

That was big news up here. The paper just reported a field of dead deer, so everyone assumed it was "thrill killers". As sad as it is I was glad to hear it was natural.

Still a waste of good deer.

i just found this comment on one of the links lol....the things people come up with


...Local authorities are on the look out for an elderly man sporting a long, flowing white beard. He was last seen heading north on I-43, about 1/2 mile of WI Hwy 50. Eyewitness accounts indicate that the elderly man was wearing tattered red clothing and mumbling something about a new sled and his lost "children". Mr. Svenson, operating manager of the local Fleet & Farm commented, "At first, I thought he was another drunken FIB, who had lost his way during an ice fishing party, but this guy had something special about him, like a twinkle in his eye that wasn't quite right, and he kept going on about someone named Dancer/Prancer or something like that. There's a gal who works over at the local club, Bambi, I believe her name is, but she works Friday's and Saturday's only. I've never heard of any Prancer/Dancer gal. She might be new though, as I ain't been over to the club for a month or so. I sure hope the old man is okay"...

That is definitely crazy!

wow! thx for sharing.

Crazy stuff right there!

Obviously there are a bunch of aliens involved...they got tired of hacking up cows and have moved on to deer...

Lightning..yeah right...

I get an email every few days from Outdoor Life, it had this story in it. Crazy.

I can believe that. We had some cows under a tree in an open pasture one evening during a thunderstorm. The next day I woke up and saw one dead cow, three calves. Hoofs were blown off and eyes looked just like those in the pictures of the deer. Lightning had hit the tree, split it and killed the cattle near it.

That's wacky

I had the same thing as Curtis, I lost 3 good horses in a trap one time by lighting. Its not a pretty sight. Sad to hear it.

Seen it happen to Cow's in Montana.

I've seen it happen to horses standing under a tree around here, too.

Lost lots of livestock to lighting over the years. Most were under trees. Not the most expensive but the largest number with one strike was 52 angora muttons that were huddled under a spanish oak one night. Most expensive was three fat steer calves standing under a liveoak. Had two round bales struck and burned at different times while setting in the field that I can remember. I don't know why but some strikes or much more powerful than others. Sometimes when a strike hits a tree it strips bark to the ground and the tree recovers. Other times the strike will blow bark several yards and even break limbs. When this happens many times the tree dies over a period of a few months to a year. Learned long ago not to mess with Mother Nature.

How do the eyey pop out, thats nuts!

I shot a deer a few years ago, and while I was filling out the tag in my stand a bird ate the eye out of the deer. I think the bird is called a caracara. That may be what happenend to the eyes. As fas as lightening killing them, I believe it.

The chupacabra wait around the fields for just such an event then move in for the eyes. No witnesses that way.

Crows will eat them to I have a cow that killed her baby and when we got out to get the cow the crows eating them out.

wow
