vietnam but without tiger




At first they thought it was a VC, and their hearts started to beat faster, but then they were relieved
to see that it was actually a deer. Ray Mendez and Ray Tyndall, our intrepid infantrymen from the
"Dirty Third," the 3rd Platoon, B Co., 1st Battalion 6th Infantry, were pulling security duty
east of LZ Dottie for the dozers from the 39th Engineer Company (Land Clearing). The idea was
to get out in front of the "cut" to be sure that the Viet Cong were unable to emplace booby traps
for the unwary engineer troops. The Viet Cong could easily avoid the cumbersome vehicles while
they did their dirty work of planting mines near Hill 43, but they had to watch out for infantrymen
who were on the hunt.

Ray Tyndall took careful aim with his M16 rifle, and from about 150 yards, dropped the animal
with a single shot. And there were no pesky game wardens to enforce hunting season!

Ray Mendez and Ray Tyndall retrieve their kill. Now, what do you do with a deer out in the bush,
with no convenient meat locker? Why, you take it to your local butcher, and prepare for a feast.

TIGER STORY. These GIs spent a night on an unsuccessful tiger hunt in the Burma jungle so they bought a skin from a native in order to have something to show for it.



BIG GAME. These proud GIs take up a hunter's pose and get their picture taken with the trophy, a 125-pound leopard. They bagged it on an overnight jungle expedition during off-duty time in Burma. L. to r.: Sgt. John F. Wiley, Cpl. Leonard Patrick and Sgt. Aubrey Claser.
