Not quite in the same league but last year I was at a dark sky site called Bretti reserve in NSW when a young bull decided that my tarp covered EQ8 with its three black legs was some sought of rival and charged, flattening the mount. It continued to worry the tarp and mount until I managed to scare it away. Fortunately neither the scopes or any of the electronic bits were on the mount at the time and EQ8's are made of sturdy stuff so no real harm done.
