About 1990, At about 0200 and the weather was closing in. I had to patrol a
camp line. A routine call. With Mag light in hand, I proceeded to patrol. I had
walked in 2 sections through the R/W, climbing over everything, stumps, old
barrels, rocks, logs, etc. I was looking up constantly trying to locate the
fault.
There happened to a number of farms in the area, which I didn't pay too
much attention to. I went a couple more steps and shined my light directly in
front of me and decided to go around a rather large object in my intended path.
With 20 years experience under my belt, I was quite comfortable doing my job. My
worst fear in patrolling at night, alone, was right in front of me! As I was
figuring what side to go around, I saw this object move. What it was , was the
head of a bull that had turned his head to look at me! Let me tell you
that when I saw the ring in it's nose, I was gone!! The customers were energized
a short while later
