Local Man Kills
Deer, Receives
Thank You Note
W. A. "Bill" Bradley killed a
100-pound deer recently, and all
he got was "Thank you'' and a
severe shaking up.
Mr. Bradley was driving a pick
up truck through Pisgah Forest,
and when about 200 feet from the
ranger's house on the other side of
the mountain, the deer bounded
on the highway right in the path
of the truck.
The fender and grill struck the
deer a deadly blow, and the ani
mal fell dead on the side of the
highway.
Mr. Bradley went to the ranger's
station, told them of the accident.
They said several deer had been
killed in a similar manner near
the same spot. The deer was
feeding in a deep gulley by the
road, and it is presumed the noise
of the truck startled the animal
and caused it to run right Into the
vehicle.
The game warden took charge of
the carcass.
