Blast from the past

Ran across this tonight while searching for something totally different.

Back in the 90s on the to elk camp

Twisted my rear drive shaft in half....literally....had to walk out.

Heard many a hunting story but not that one yet
Good job
That's way better than shooting your transfer case or trans with a 30.06
Or your truck bed while sighting your rifle in

Happened almost every year during the deer hunt
Another guy shot his ZF the very next year
The transfer case, guys were driving around with one in the chamber waiting to "jump" shoot a deer
Hit a big rock and one of the passengers shot through the floorboard
Everything was rosy for a moment
A few minutes later the truck was smoking and the transfer case losked up
They had to be towed back from the high Uintas
The other guy, our boss or service advisor rather, was sighting his rifle in
He didn't realize his scope could see over the bed rail on the other side, but the barrel was pointing straight at the fender
He shoots
Bam! puts a hole in his bed rail on the opposite side of the truck bed
That was a good one too

never saw that caliber of stupidity.
i have however seen a "macho man" one hand shoot a 44 magnum with half a cylinder of hot loads. first 3 were 44 special. the 4th was a hot 44 mag load. mr macho after 3 rounds said this is a girly gun. then proceeded to put the hammer in hit forehead, needing 3 stiches to close it up.
same guy a year later did not believe the 50 cal front stuffer kicked, and tried shooting it sitting on the bed rail of a pickup. i caught my gun before it hit the ground....
him? everyone laughed their asterisks off. he never tried playing tough guy around us again.

Buddy's dad was offroading in his baja bug back in high school with a girl. Drove through a huge puddle, and decided to be a badass... pulled out his 44 to pop a hole in the floor pan to drain the water. Bullet expanded when it went through the water and tore a HUGE hole in his floor.

If you work at a Ford dealer long enough, you'll see even dumber stuff than that
One of the best ones was a guy replacing his clutch cable quadrant on a GT Mustang
He fought it for so long and so hard, he got pissed and threw a BFH through his back hatch window
Another guy was changing his heater core in a Probe and split the HVAC case apart
Brought that car to us on a hook with the case in a box and the core still in the car
Took 2 guys 3 days to put the case and car back together
There were spring loaded blend doors in that Probe case and all that EATC stuff IIRR
