Civil War soldiers skirmished here during the two famous battles. About 4 years ago I was out in these parts with a metal detector. It was cold and about this time of year. Suddenly a bull came out from the woods and chased me up a tree. A whole herd of cows followed the bull and they surrounded the tree. I had a light jacket on and as evening approached it started getting cold but the bull and cows maintained their vigil around my tree. The bull stared up at me with red in its eyes and started pushing on the tree. I swung down to a lower limb and kicked the bull in the head, hoping to send it away. I also threw dead tree limbs at it. But these tactics just made it angrier. To make a long story short, as darkness set in, I swung down from the tree and screamed at the top of my lungs. This confused the bull for just 2 seconds, which gave me enough time to race to the river. I jumped in, broke the ice and somehow got across to the other side with the bull standing on the bank bellowing. I was so full of adrenalin that I didn’t even feel cold (maybe numb). As I scooted for home, I could still hear that bull bellowing. [/quote]About metal detectoring lay out a grid. Works best in this type of event.As far as a bull, well he just thought you wanted his hurd.....LOL What my grandmother (which she was not) told me to do was break a 2x4 over/above his nose area. Well I did have cows at that time and yeah the bull ran me and my mother around when feeding time was upon. A storm came up and broke a nice size cedar stick down I used from then on as a walking stick in the mud and happen to be one cold day bull got pushy and he went to his knees (front). I was just glade I was not hurt because I was not backing down any more, mom had better time after that also with the bull. JFI
