Back in 1997, my company moved operations from Ft. Lauderdale, FL to Lawrence, KS. I went with them. There was another line tech I met in Lawrence who used to go bow hunting on the first day of the deer season every year. He came into work one morning and told us this amazing story of how he had shot an arrow straight through a big 'mulie' buck from about 30 yards. The buck dropped almost immediately and he climbed down and went to claim his prize. Admiring the rack on this very fine specimen, he lifted it up and to his surprise, the deer stood up and started to charge him with that big rack of antlers. The only thing between him and those sharp points was his bow that he still had in his hands so it finished up jammed into the antlers as the deer ran off through the woods.
Fast-forward about two weeks and another of my workmates came in one morning with a very nice compound bow and laid it on the desk of our deer hunting friend who had lost his. He walks in, sees the bow, picks it up, looks at it, looks around him and asks out loud who had found it. It was the bow he had lost to the deer two weeks previously. Turns out that the deer had run out into the road and had been struck by his car on his way to work. It still had the bow stuck in it's antlers. We all had been somewhat skeptical of this wild bow hunting story until that moment. I, for one, never doubted his word again.

Wow, I love this story. I too have a story that I'm sure most folks find unbelievable. My proof isn't as cool as this. Thanks for sharing.
