Duck Hunters

[tin can]

A TRUE STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN RADIO STATION
REPORTING ON AN INCIDENT ABOUT TWO DUCK HUNTERS:

A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500 (monthly payments of $560)

He and a friend go duck hunting in upper Wisconsin. It's mid-winter; and of
course all of the lakes are frozen. These two guys go out on the ice with
their GUNS, a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR. They decide they
want to make a natural looking open water area for the ducks to focus on,
something for the decoys to float on.

So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite with a
short fuse. Now our two rocket scientists, afraid they might slip on
the ice while trying to run away after lighting the fuse, decide to light the
fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they throw the stick of dynamite as far
as possible.

Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the
NAVIGATOR, the GUNS, and the DOG?
A highly trained Black Lab used for RETRIEVING; especially things
thrown by the owner. You guessed it: the dog takes off across the ice
at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite.

The two men swallow, blink, start waving their arms and, with veins in their
necks swelling to resemble stalks of rhubarb, scream and holler at the dog
to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his master, keeps coming.

One hunter panics, grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. The shotgun is
loaded with #8 bird shot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab. The dog
becomes really confused and of course terrified, and takes off to find cover,
UNDER the brand new Navigator.

The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot exhaust pipe on
the trucktouches the dog's rear end, he yelps, drops the dynamite under
the truck and takes off after his master.

Then " BOOOOM " The truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom
of the lake, leaving the two idiots standing there in shock.

By the way, the insurance company says that sinking a vehicle in a lake
by illegal use of explosives is NOT COVERED by the policy....

And you thought Rednecks only lived in the South.........

Thats similar to what I accomplished at the Econfina ramp on Saturday at dawn.

They change the brand of vehicle everytime this is put on the net, but

It just ain't so. Funny as heck, but ain't so

Yeah, Snopes gets em every time. I was thinking Snopes from the point the dynamite was mentioned.

Also, ya don't generally want to go after ducks with #8 lead shot, its sort of been illegal for 25 years.....
