I KNOW THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR BUT IN 1997 I WAS AT AN M60 MACHINE GUN RANGE AT FT. CAMPBELL, KY. WE HAD JUST STOPPED SHOOTING FOR WHAT WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES. WHEN WE GOT THE WORD TO ENGAGE TARGETS AGAIN A DOE RAN ACROSS THE RANGE AT ABOUT 700 METERS AWAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY SHE DIDN'T MAKE IT ACROSS.

ONLY A COUPLE OF GUNS FIRED AT HER, AND I COULD SEE MY ROUNDS HITTING ALL AROUND HER. WHEN IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE MY FIRST SERGEANT AND CO. WENT OUT TO GET HER AND REMARKABLY SHE WAS ONLY HIT LIKE 10 TIMES. SO WE DIDN'T CALL RANGE CONTROL OR THE GAME WARDENS AND THE FIRST SERGEANT SALVAGED WHAT HE COULD FROM HER AND WE ENDED UP HAVING A COMPANY BARBECUE A FEW WEEKENDS LATER.

THE GUNNERS WHO FIRED ON HER DID END UP GETTING A SEVERE BUT CHEWING. THE CO WANTED TO ARTICLE 15 US BUT THE FIRST SERGEANT TALKED HIM OUT OF IT AND JUST MADE US A LITTLE BIT STRONGER TO SAY THE LEAST. PUSH UPS GO GO GO.
