Lost Lake, WY: Ranchers Bessie, and Bennie Fubb were startled out of their routine ranch chores when there was a sudden, and violent spitball attack on their domestic deer herd.
“We was enjoying our dogs playing in the yard when we noticed the deer out in the pasture getting spooked.” says Bessie Fubb. “The next thing we knew our deer was covered in spitballs. The poor little things was so confused.”

Bennie Fubb who heard the commotion ran down from the barn hoping to put a load of buckshot into the perpetrators, but his arthritis, and getting tangled up in the dogs slowed him down. “They dropped one of their tubes. Rascal found it, and led me to it.” says Fubb, clearly shaken, and angry.

Bessie Fubb has plans to organize Deer Ranchers, and Deer Against Spitballs, just as soon as she gets the dogs put up, and her chores finished. “We’ve got to stamp out these vicious spitball attacks.” says Bessie, with tears in her angry eyes. These spitballers are like ghosts. They appear without warning, and just disappear leaving only devastation, spitballs, and the occasional tube behind.
Bennie Fubb has a different attitude. “I’ll set my dogs on these spitballers.” he vows. “They have the scent now. They are already on the alert. All it took was one attack. These dogs won’t let another attack happen.” says Fubb with confidence.

The Lost Lake County Sheriff Elmo Fubb, no relation, refused to comment, as his deputies were in a futile race with the deer to capture evidence. He did say that this was the first alleged spitball attack in Lost Lake County.
