I flew low level there once and it made me think of your video. It was a good many years ago and I was returning from one of my usual one hour to 90 minute evening flights. Usually in a big circuit. For some reason I cut a corner and flew over an unfamiliar couple of miles of grassland. It was well away from any building behind some army shooting butts.I went down low, very low and was charging across this large field with tall grasses. I was being stupid and flying with the wheels just above the grass. Suddenly a deer leapt in the air from the tall grass, right in front of me..It didn`t run or give me any warning, it just erupted smack bang on the nose. I can only assume that I was so low that the sound of the engine scared it. I have no idea how I missed it, I assume that I automatically pulled up and skipped over the damn thing. It gave me the fright of my life. I have had an engine quit on me a couple of times and that is guaranteed to get your attention. This was much worse. I shook for an hour and it cured me of being terminally stupid. For a whole week anyway. It has often occurred to me since and I saw myself writing to my Insurance. Dear Sir, you see, there was this deer......

I had no where specific to go, no where to be, so I just wandered. It worked, I was no longer bored and not only that I had a job to do- making a short video. Its kept me busy all the rest of the day. Larry -- The older I get, the less tolerant I am of those who are intolerant.

What are you trying to say? :-) One year John Hauck, John Williamson, were arriving on a windy day after a long flight from Alabama and Texas. There was a pretty nasty cross wind and as John touched down, an Antelope Buck erupted out of the Sage right in front of him. Hard to say which was the most frightened. On a side note, I was able to feed them a meal from that same Buck the next year. I once asked John W about his style of flight, and what would happen if something went bad. His answer was- "Its going to hurt, isn't it". He accepted the consequences, and I am willing to do the same.
