Some time ago a call from a woman came into the Syracuse fire station to report a strange animal in her yard. It had a body like a large cat and the face of a hog. Conservation officer Earl Money could not be reached so Joe Thornburg, who is always willing to lend a helping hand, went out and shot the hog-faced cat. Now after a long search thru the bayous of Boner Lake, with Lester Benner beating the bushes, he was able to track down a buck of the same family which he single-handed subdued, not without a struggle. This could be a new type of deer as he tagged it with his unused deer tag. This buck had antlers.
