I'm a DOGMAN Hunter In NORTH CAROLINA, I Have Some Stories To Tell.. * * * Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We got activated on November fourteenth, twenty-twenty, heading to Tryon, North Carolina.
It's the kind of area mostly populated by sprawling horse properties, older folks looking for peace, and endless stretches of dense Appalachian timber.
The briefing file noted that local cops had responded to a half dozen disturbance calls along the town's wooded perimeter over nine days.
The details stayed consistent across the board.
Farmers were finding shredded livestock and massive guard dogs were vanishing without a trace.
Multiple people also reported seeing a massive bipedal shape hanging around the tree line after sundown.
Local cops usually blame bears for that kind of thing.
Then on day nine, Deputy Clara Hughes found a full grown horse sitting perfectly on the roof of a two-story barn.
The animal hadn't been thrown there.
Someone set it down gently.
The roof panels weren't even cracked, and the wooden rafters held up just fine.
Henrik caught the state police chatter about the barn and immediately sent us in.
The air felt wet and freezing, smelling strongly of rotting pine needles.
We staged out of a dead logging camp about four miles out of town, right up against the heaviest part of the foothills.
Elias and Soren handled the mobile command center in the back of the transit vehicle while Mathis and I started tuning the perimeter sensors.
We carried standard military gear gutted and rebuilt for this specific job.
That meant thermal optics, high frequency acoustic trackers, and suppressed rifles pushing specialized frangible rounds.
Henrik made it clear early on that bullets were mostly an afterthought.
The things we hunted didn't act like normal apex predators.
Normal animals hunt for meat or defend a territory.
These anomalies operated on a completely different logic.
They liked being watched.
The sun vanished behind the ridge by nineteen hundred and the woods turned pitch black.
