duck hunters

2006 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE TWO DUCK HUNTERS FROM WISCONSIN? ABSOLUTELY TRUE > STORY HEARD ON A WISCONSIN RADIO STATION REPORTING ON THE INCIDENT. > > This guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.00 (with monthly Payments of $560.00). He and a friend go duck hunting in mid-winter; and of course > all of the lakes are frozen. These two guys drive onto a lake with their > GUNS, a DOG, and of course the new NAVIGATOR. > > hey decide they want to make a natural looking water area for the ducks, > something for the decoys to float on. 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 at 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 the nearest cover, UNDER the brand new Navigator. > The men continue to scream as they run. The red hot exhaust pipe on the > truck touches the dogs rear end, he yelps, drops the dynamite under the > truck and takes off after his master. > >

Then """"""""""KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM""""""""""!!!! > > 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. He still had yet to make the > first of those $560.00 a month payments...The dog is okay! > > Newspaper item from Wisconsin >

This is a CONFIRMED URBAN LEGEND (see http://www.snopes.com/critters/cruelty/dynamite.asp). It's a good one, to be sure, but it's not true! Thanks for submitting just the same, Bill!
