Duck Hunters


[font="porky's"]True or not, this is one heck of a story...[font="porky's"]
[font="porky's"] 
[font="porky's"]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 buys 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 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.  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 birdshot, hardly big enough to stop a Black Lab.

The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, and 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.

Funny story, though too many holes in it for it to be true (IMO).

#8 birdshot would be more than enough to put down a black lab at relatively close range (the distance the dynamite could be thrown) especially with two shots.

A single stick of dynamite would not have near enough power to 'blow the truck to bits'.  Sure it would cause some damage and might even fracture the ice so it took a bath, but certainly not destroy it.  Though with the dynamite laying on top of the ice, I would be skeptical of it even causing a fracture big enough to send the truck into the drink.  The nature of explosives is such that if it is not in a confined area, the explosive force is greatly reduced because the shockwave is not focused.

No offense intended, all in fun :)

SilverWulf, you are right on the shotgun, but wrong on the dynamite.  If it were in fact a full "stick" of a modern gel-based dynomite (like Dynosplit, or similar) the truck would be lifted off the ice for several inches, and very likely set on fire.  If the ice were thin enough, it might crack.

But moreover, I grew up in Wisconsin and I can state catagorically that NO TWO DUCK HUNTERS ALREADY OUT ON THE LAKE WOULD BE SOBER ENOUGH to execute this complex set of events.  Therefore, the story, while funny, must be embellished.

"Yah, dem lake ducks?  dere good eatin'"
