[SOC] Wisconsin Hunting

[Quikhooligan]

Why was his use of explosives deemed illegal?  It may have only been an unsafe use of explosives.
Accidents are accidents, even freak accidents.

Does duck hunting season extend into mid-winter?

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 northern 
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.
   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 
for the dog to stop. 
   The dog, now apparently cheered on by this 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 KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
   The truck is blown to bits and sinks to the bottom of the lake, 
leaving the two idiots standing there with this '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 the guy still had yet to 
make the first of those $560.00 a month payments. The dog is okay, 
doing fine. And you thought all Rednecks lived in the South.
