I know everyone has seen them, but they are never there.
You scan and see a deer with the naked eye, you bring up your binoculars and “<strong>POOF</strong>” it turns into a clump of weeds, a fallen branch or some other vegetation. I don’t know how these sneaky critters do it.
I think the guys that helped build the stealth fighter are deer hunters and was inspired from them…
I call them Phantom Bucks.
So why does this phenomena happen? Is it that we want to see a deer so bad that our eyes plays trick on us? Is it that God gave deer great camouflage that we jump at the chance if we see something out of the ordinary? Or could it be that they are real?
People claim that they have had encounters with Bigfoot, UFOs, the Loch Ness Monster, the New Jersey Devil, etc.. why can’t there be a phantom buck? It is almost impossible to get good quality video and film on all these enigmas.
Just like the elusive Phantom Buck.
Think about it, this could be the solution to the crop circle mystery!
Here is a poem by <a href=”http://www.huntingandfishingusa.com/eltonmellum.html”>Elton Mellum </a>about the creature
A least a hundred hunters saw him
Some even got off a shot
Others swore they hit him
Fantasy, likely as not
I listened to their stories
For a least the hundredth time
He should have so many bullets in him
There’d be no room for mine
Some said a four by four
Others said a five by five
So one thing we know for sure
It that half of them lied
Every year they see him
Where ever he does hide
He’s been out there so long
You’d think by now he’d died
Just last week they’d tracked him
Looking for blood and hair
But true to his legend
It’s seems he was never there
So now I’ll have to hear it
For still another year
About how they passed up a doe
To get that phantom deer
I just know it’ll never end
As long as they go out there
But please God could you help
Get someone chased by a bear
That should get us a break
And perhaps with a little luck
We’ll go a day or two
I hope everyone has a safe and eventful deer season!
