20 years ago at one of my jobs for a truck rental company, one of the mechanics was an M-60 tanker in the late 1970's and early 1980's. He told a story once where they were on a practice range firing the main gun and by coincidence, a deer came onto the range as the tank fired. Needless to say, the 105mm round hit the deer and tore it to shreds. The General at the base wanted to make sure they were not deerhunting with the tank and my mechanic friend said it was an accident.
