Wild Outdoor Stories
Truth is stranger than fiction when it comes to these real life outdoor stories.
The town of St. Joseph, Michigan, has one less bison to worry about after police shot and killed one that had escaped from a nearby farm.
The bison ran wild in the town’s streets and through residential neighborhoods. The decision to shoot it was made after it ran dangerously close to a playground and charged an officer. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENT |

I've heard of the Dodge Ram. This one's more like the Ford Bison. haha.
If either the deer or the turkey had crashed into my house, they would have gone into my freezer. and the woodchuck also.And I'm not sure that the authorities would have to be notified unless I felt it was covered under the "stand your ground' clause. And that bison wouldn't be a bad thing to have gotten lost on my property either.;) It's the least I should get considering the property damage.
Dude that is crazy that some deer ran through their house! A perfect example of why hunting is so important! Even now deer are in developments and causing harm! Imagine what it would be like without hunters! We keep the herd in check!
You can almost see the shape of the turkey in that broken glass. What a crazy story. Easter dinner, anyone?
Bo is my hero.
Also, is that pretty common for deer to run into someone's home like that?
I'm not in the service nor have I ever been in the service. But it takes a real asshole to give a citation to a Marine Sergeant. No, I don't believe anyone should be above the law. But considering the circumstances, why not just give him a warning? After all, he puts his life on the line for us.

And he was getting attacked by alligators! I know, that seemed a bit excessive to give the poor guy a citation.
That doe in 8 looks good for the freezer. I'll take the 5th on what I might have done with the turkey that came in through the window.
I can not believ what they did to Mr. Rush. The guy is getting attacked by an aligator....and he is arrested for problems with his boat!!!! That is low.
I agree with lionkiller23. No wonder people are reluctant to do what is right. I once shot at a buck and killed a doe on the other side of it and when I turned it in to Fish and Game and explained what happened they confiscated my rifle and took away my hunting privledges for a year and fined me $350. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to do what is right. Semper Fi Sgt. Rush!
Sorry guys, personally seems like a case of some police officers who wanted to shoot this bison 'calf'. I find it very hard to believe that it couldn't have been caught by other means, and if that cop was scared from something this relatively 'minor' maybe they are in the wrong profession. I have been around cows, bulls and horses most of my life - and I realize those aren't bison - but rarely is a charge a charge. I was in NC once when I witnessed THREE police oficers discharge their weapons into a RACCOON from 5 feet away (had a broken spipne) - they fired FOUR times!!! I would be ticked if I was the farmer who owned this animal.
looks like that groundhog didnt see his shadow
