LOCATION:
Dent County, Missouri
TERRAIN:
N/A
OBSERVED:
I had a cow with pink eye i had been trying to get to the barn ( contageous....needed
a shot.....hard to deal with due to being blind in one eye) She was about
a 350 pound steer . Everyday i would try to get her through the gate, don't
run them too much while its hot. ABOUT the third day I found her
calf dead up against an electric fence. I couldn't believe that something
had tore its hind leg off ( you could see that the ball socket was
shattered and the flesh was torn). You cant imagine the force it would
take to do this damage. I have drug dead cows with a tractor and hit and
pulled big stumps right out of the ground and didn't pull the leg off.
Well I pulled this calf under the fence about 10 am or so .
I
knew this was odd and planned on watching the carcass after sunset
. I had an sks assault rifle with a full banana clip. I had
a 3 cell mag light adjusted to pin
point . About 10 pm I was scanning my perimeter looking for coyotes (always
circle around you at night, they eat calf poop , high in protien).
Well anyway i got my light on this thing strolling up to the back hayfield
fence to come into the bottom where i and the calf was ( low ground so
i could open up on the culprit ) It froze stock still and was blinded
for at least 10 seconds while i was trying to determine what i was looking
at. It didn't know what to do either i don't think , it was totally surprised
. When the shock wore off i tried to keep it blinded and move west so i
could shoot it (houses to the north). As i moved west it took off to the
west and that was the last i seen it. I waited until around midnight and
went home.
The
next morning the 350 pound steer was gone.
Ok
this thing was bipedal about 7 ft 400# , it was tan or buff , it
had white or gray around its face (like a mane , long bushy fur ? ) had
white in the chest area not as much hair on the face , wide flaring nostrils,
big mouth . It resembled an african lion in the face in the light( just
the head illuminated ).It had a mane. We were within 50 yards at
closest. I think it was here 2 years ago in the winter (had 2 yearlings
with tails missing. not cold enough to freeze them off , One calf i gave
a shot for scours , came back 2 hours later to make sure he was in the
shade, and found him in this same field dead with his tail missing).
Activities of Witness:
Hunting the animal that was killing livestock.
