He was a goner long before the
bullet tore into his brain.
Indeed, the big buck's fate was
as certain as it was unprecedent-
ed. And experts are saying now
that the odds are it won't happen
again in any of our lifetimes.
"They say you could line up a
hundred thousand hunters - and
they hunt their entire life - and it
would never happen," says Shel-
ton's Rick Hayes, who will be on

the cover of next week's Fishing &
Hunting News on account of it.
"Yeah, it's a unique thing...'"
HAYES' STORY BEGAN just
minutes after he got off work Oc-
tober 25 at Pioneer School, where
he's the district's maintenance di-
rector.
"I live right by the school," says
the 55-year-old West Seattle na-
tive, who moved here in 1970. "And
I'm drivin' down my driveway."
He grins. "Of course," he says,
"huntin' season I'm always lookin'
around and rubber-neckin'. And I
spotted it. And I didn't have a gun,
of course, so I just kept right on
goin'- headed for home."
WHAT HE FOUND upon re-
turn wasn't exactly what he'd ex-
pected.
There indeed was the large
blacktail buck he'd spotted, in all
its four-point glory. But it was
what lay beside it that was most
riveting:
Another full-grown buck, dead
as a doornail at its feet - its rack
intertwined with the other's.
"I saw the antlers were all
hooked together so they could not
get apart," says Rick. "They had
been fighting. And that's normal
this time of year. Bucks: They
spar."
WHAT ISN'T NORMAL, says
the Mason County man, is to see
antlers locked.
"There's three types of deer in
Washington," says Rick. "There's
blacktail, which we have around
here. And then mule deer, which
are in the Cascades. And then
whitetail, which are over around
the Spokane area.
"And whitetail: Their antlers
grow differently. And according
to the Game Department those
are more apt to get locked. They
push all the time, and fight - dur-
ing 'rut.'
"But game wardens who've
looked into it say they don't know
if it's ever happened - blacktail ac-
tually being locked tight. As far a
they know, it hasn't ever happened
in Washington state."
IN ANY EVENT, Rick's two
combatants that day clearly had
been at it for quite some time. And
their dance had continued even af-
ter the one's death.
"The ground around them
looked like it had been rototilled,"
says Rick. "They had fought so
much. And the front feet of the
buck I shot - I mean, his whole
torso was just not in good shape,
Calling all
softball girls
Veteran softball coach Terry
"Wolfman" Dittmer of Shelton has
announced he is available to mentor
girls in the sport of fastpitch every
Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 9
in the evening in the Oakland Bay
Junior High School gym.
"If you have a bat and glove,
bring them and I will let you know
if they are good to use," he says.
"Wear tennis shoes. You will work
out in the gym."
On days when there is no school
there will be no sessions, he adds.
Questions? Give him a call at
427-5332, says Dittmer.
RICK POSES WITH his Ripley's-Believe-It-Or-Not-worthy
anomaly of nature. With him are grandkids (from left)
Kailey Gould, 10, Gavin Gould, 4, and Trent Gould, 8. His
taxidermist, Shelton's Dave Miskinis, reportedly is tempt-
ing him with a full two-deer mount.
from the fighting."
All but gone as well, the surviv-
ing buck just stood there when the
.44 Winchester swung up to greet
him.
"He was tired too," says Rick.
"There's no question about it. He
was exhausted. And so he just
went down."
The hunter smiles thinly.
"Yeah," he says, "he would have
thanked me..."
AS FOR THOSE of less specu-
lative response, they've been prac-
tically coming out of the woodwork
since word got out, says Rick.
"Even people who aren't hunters
have wanted to see it," he intones.
And some have brought tales of
their own, it seems.
"Yeah," says Rick, grinning
anew. "We're just hearin' rumors
like crazy that it's worth a million
dollars."
"Someone heard that we were
offered a million and we turned
it down," puts in Rick's daughter,
Megan Gould.
She laughs. "And my dad says,
'We wouldn't BE here if we'd been
offered a million! We would be on
VACATION...'"
Grade-school footrace classic:
ET Trot turns
30 next week
The grade school running corn full raze Tom turkeys for the wc
munity's venerated Evergreen
Turkey Trot will mark its 30th
anniversary next Wednesday,
November 21.
The day's first of the locally
legendary downtown grade-school
footraces is set to get under way at
9:10 a.m. on Loop Field.
The ET Trot was launched at
Evergreen Elementary School
in 1978 by then-principal Allen
Hughes, an accomplished distance
runner himself. Over the years it
traditionally has been held the
day before Thanksgiving, but one
year it had to be postponed on
account of snow.
The course has changed some-
what since the beginning, but the
prizes have remained the same:
tors, chickens for the runners-up,
game hens for the third-place fin-
ishers and eggs by the dozen for
the fourth-place finishers.
Prizes are awarded in both gen-
der divisions for all grade levels,
kindergarten through fifth grade,
and every participant receives a
ribbon and a certificate.
The ET Trot involves numerous
parents and community members
as volunteers, and many busi-
nesses and service organizations
donate to help cover the expense
of prizes.
Past ET Trotters are expressly
invited to come out and watch this
year's 30th go-around, which will
conclude with an assembly in the
school's gymnasium.
