Duck Hunters quite amazing. Have you heard about the two duck hunters
from Wisconsin? Absolutely a true story heard on a Wisconsin radio
station reporting on the incident.
A guy bought a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.00 (with monthly
payments of $560.00). He and a friend go duck hunting in upper
Wisconsin. It's mid-winter. And of course, all 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 for the ducks to focus on, something for the
decoys to float in.
Now making a hole in the ice large enough to invite a passing duck,
is going to take a little more power than the average drill auger can
produce. So, out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of
dynamite with a short
40- second fuse.
Now our two rocket scientists, afraid they might slip on the ice
while trying to run away after lighting the fuse and becoming
toast ...along with the Navigator... decide on the following course
of action:
They light the 40 second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they throw
the stick of dynamite as far away as possible.
Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the Navigator,
the guns, and the dog...???
Let's talk about 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, with the burning 40 second fuse, just as it
hits the ice. 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 stops for a
moment, slightly confused, then continues on. Another shot, and this
time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and of course
terrified, thinks these two geniuses have gone insane. The dog 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 truck touches the
dog's rear end, he yelps, drops the dynamite under the truck and
takes off after his master. Then "" "" "" "" "" Boooooooooooom "" ""
"" "" ""!!!! The truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom of
the lake, leaving the two idiots standing there with "I can't believe
this just happened" looks on their faces. The insurance company says
that sinking a vehicle in a lake by illegal use of explosives is not
covered by the policy and he still had yet to make the first of those
$560.00 a month payments. The dog is okay. . .doing fine. And you
thought all the rednecks lived in the south.
