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 are a
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.

Reember 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 a 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 Rednecks lived in the South.........

Funny story, but don't ducks fly south before the lakes freeze this hard up there? I think they hunt ducks in the fall.

edneely..I tend to agree with you...we live on a lake here..lots of ducks and geese flock here to stay for the winter. We very rarely see it snow, much less the lake freezing over. But one year..a few moons ago..it was stayed cold enough for the lake to freeze over,,,barely the top of it. The ducks didn't know how to land on the frozen ice! It was funny to watch..but they surely didn't know how to adapt. I can't imagine ducks staying in an icy environment and trying to survive. It was an entertaining story tho!(it was also entertaining to see the birds try to land...do front flips..back flips and basically juggle around like they were trying to surf for the first time!)
