I've had more than a few close calls with them as a truck driver. Winged a biggun one night coming home from Marion Twp. down in Washington County with a load of Coast of Maine dirt on. Knew he was going to run in front of me so started blipping the airhorn to startle and get him to stumble. He did..... right on the yellow line. Heard a thud from the right side and ended up with a ton of slobber on the truck, along with a wet spot on the road dead centered between the marks his hooves made when he spun out, but never saw him again.
Anyway, I work with a Terry (Terrance?) Lary in Pittsfield who lives in St. Albans, he makes wood furniture on the side. Tall guy. Drove tank for Superior for a while before he came to us.
